Traction Bar Questions & Problem

I’m running the Steeda Axle Relocation Kit on the rear of my L. I’m looking for a traction bar set up that will work the spring under set up I have. Anyone have any ideas? I like the style of the Rancho & LFP bars but no one can tell me if they will work with my application.

Yes, I have two.

1. Explain what a Steeda relocation kit is.
2. Wait longer than three hours before stressing out about not getting a response.

The steeda relocation kit moves the axle from under the leaf spring to over the leaf spring, netting about 4" drop in the process.

Just moving the axle to the top of the stock springs would result in a 6" drop, the Steeda kits comes with new leafs as well, result is approx 3" drop on a lightning.

look at the dates in the posts... posted 1 day and 3 hours ago.


Here is what the ride height looks like

The kit did eliminate all wheel hop that I was experiencing when stock.

Well - if all that happened was the leafs were moved from "over" to "under" -- then most standard traction bar setup's would work.
Call a tooner and get measurements on how the pieces connect and the dimensions.


How do you like the kit ... how big of a different was it?
Good Luck,
John
