Roushfan,
Missed your post In L-ville chief...
Pretty much the options for lower mount type traction bars would be:
** "Rancho-type" offered through JohnnyLightning Performance, Lightningforce Performance, and JDM Engineering.
** Caltracs from Power Surge Performance and Lightningforce Performance. These are adjustable.
** "Slapper" style from Lakewood or TruckTraks (PSP carries these too)
** Metco also has a lower mount setup also
Some have done a pinion snubber too but haven't been marketed/discussed much.
I've run the Lakewoods and now have JL's rancho bars and am very satisfied.

A pinion snubber is a device that makes contact with the top of the hogs head ( front of 3 member) as it attempts to lift when you apply power, such as launching at the drag strip.
It is adjustable,and can be raised up out of the contact point
when you wish not to use it.
Keeping the 3rd member in a horizontal position does not allow the axles to twist, thus applying the torque to the ground, not using it to wrap up the axles which tend to lift the tires.
It does the same thing as traction bars. But is installed where it is not visible .
Hope this helps.
