I know this will probably start a war but who’s traction bars are the best?

 

Mine are!

Granted I haven't even the final product. Nor have I designed them for creation. All I base my assesment on is that I am one confident bitch who will kick your ***

 

Well, ive seen the lowest 60 ft time done on Rancho style. From there, you just have to decide who you want to use.

You got Lighting Forces setup...
JDM's..
Johnny's

I know Sal sells truck tracs, but dont know if he sells Rancho Style.

Plenty of options.

 

Get something with the "instant center" as far foward as possible.

I think the answer is going to be very subjective, and application specific. The all appear to work as advertised.

I also think each type has it's own advantages and disadvantages.

I manufacture the Truck-Traks and felt the slapper bar type was the best for my particular application.

I use my truck as a daily driver, and needed a bar that would not affect the ride comfort. I have driven 68,000 miles on the beaten industrial roads of Los Angeles, and they are just the ticket. You really don't know that they are there, until you hit the gas, and they go into action.

Also, I didn't really want to dissamble the rear springs or axle to install. The Truck-Traks don't require either.

Simple and effective.

 

Has anyone used the JLP bars. They seem to be installed over
the rear axle ? ****

 

What is rancho style bars. ****

 

They are mounted under the rear axle and connect to the frame under at the back of the doors.
Sorry for the bad picture but I just took it. I painted everything black, trying to hide them.

 

Our JLP Bars work Great for improved 60 ft,They stop ALL Axel wrap up,and improve the handeling on our trucks as well.they are specificaly designed for the Lightnings,H/D...trucks They were designed for not only for the stock trucks but for the lowerd trucks as well....We have put down the quickest 60 fts.. Thus far. a 1.46 60 ft! With No NO2....JLP

 

Does anybody know of anyone makeing traction bars that are
installed over the axle. ****

 

Metco uppers.

Does anyone have a site for Metco bars? ****

 

WWW.METCO-INC.COM

LFP also sells a metco clone.

 

The upper links are not your best choice. Only when there is a clearance issue would it be the kit I would offer you.
For best 60ft. AND improved handling the Rancho style will yeild the best result.
I have my version, LFP Rancho style with our exclusive heavy duty hardware kits. All hardware is twice as thick as the stock Ranchos then zinc plated to protect from rust and the elements.
JLP has his and JDM his version.
Truc-Tracs are also a good choice but my opinion is when you tie the rear to the frame that far forward you also improve handling in addition to better weight transfer. Wheel hop is also greatly reduced.
