New discovery for Truck-Trak users
New to me anyway. I thought I would pass along the info.
While "browsing" in AutoZone today, I found some control arm bumpers from Help! that are perfect fits for the Truck-traks. I bought a set that was a little more than 1/2" longer than the originals since I had about a 2" gap. Also the stud is about an inch longer to allow the use of washers or some other spacer under the snubber. They were $3.99 each. There were also shorter ones if needed.

ASVT, thanks for the heads up on the control arm bumpers. I've been inquiring about having the taller snubbers made for the Truck-Traks.
Since the snubber clearance can vary from as little as 1" to as much as 2 1/4", depending upon the trucks, I am considering including two difference heights.
However, the hardness of the rubber needs to be controlled more carefully as they get taller. Otherwise, you can get a bouncing situation if you launch hard on a sticky track. The aluminum spacers are much more accurate and repeatable, which is a plus when you are drag racing your trucks..
