Here is what I went with installed on the truck, the Cognito econo made to work for a chevy.



Rides great, a bit stiffer but I am really happy now when I mash the pedal.

 

which kit did you go with? they have a bunch listed on their site.

 

I went with the econo 60" bars.

 

this one?

how was the install? does it just use 2 bolts for the front mount and weld on the axle tubes?

 

Yea they only sell three kits, though their site makes it look like they sell 10.

I went with the econo 60" and bought them from alligator diesel.

I had my rock crawler shop weld both sides (frame/axle) of the kit and said screw messing around with the bolts. I was going to weld the axle tube tabs to the bottom of the u-bolt mounting plate but I'm running the HD setup and the mounting plate is cast. Not going to work. I set them a slight angle to the inside of the plate and so far so good. I really noticed on hard shifts/acceleration the truck doesn't rear steer anymore.

 

Did they affect articulation at all? how is the construction on them? they seem solid?

im really thinking about getting these since they are about 100 cheaper than anyone elses bars.

 

They weight a good amount and are pretty solid, all the duramax guys run these for sled pulling events. They have a poly-euro mount on the frame side and a rod-end on the axle. If you are not afraid to fab them to work they should work perfect.

I'm not into rock crawling but I have not noticed anything weird on angled slopes.

 

thanks
