hey all
can anyone recommend a good bolt on / off the shelf traction bar set up
found some cracks around my spring prech mounts on diff housing might be time for a traction bar obiously getting axle wrap
ive been looking at a lowrange one any good??
will it affect the flex of my zook?
zook is swb spoa 32'
any help would be great
cheers andrew
and yes grimbo I did a search and looked in the bible
85 high roof 1.3, 6.5 tc, air lockers,ruf and 34 swampers. yep its an ugly pos.
its worth about $600 all painted up and custom made to suit my suspension set-up.. its a lot of $$$!!! but when you see the work and engineering that went into it its worth it...

Anymore pics of cross members? Or will a mount on the body mount brace hold up?
I had mine there on my swb when it only ran 30s but with big tyres and gears not sure of its strength.
Also looked at a "bolt in" x member with sandwhich plates to the chassis but couldnt think how to get around the fuel lines on d/s rail.

for this kind of purpose it might even pay to just weld in a new x-member at the right spot to make the bar work best (ie: flatter angle on the bar). most people mount off the same x-member though, its the only one in the vicinity and its strong. I wouldnt trust a body mount to take the load at all.
do you have any drawings of the kind of bar you're hoping to make??? i'd be keen for a peep!
Pretty much the same design as hyzooks.
I didnt means off the body mount I meant the chassis x member that they bolt to.
Nah I dont have a b/l its heigh enough now..
