check out my build thread (link to The UFO) below for my trac bar... its an oztraks bar setup and its awesome. as much as i thought i'd get them hung up on rock etc, i'm yet to hit it on anything! best of all its bolt on and easily adjusted as spring settle in.

what are peoples opinion on these
http://www.rocky-road.com/zuktraction.html
be interesting to see how it goes. mine wraps pretty bad at the moment. havent been able to wheel yet.
with the oztrack kit do they make it for a suzuki or just for leaf springs vehicles in general?

he's never done a sierra before... mine was custom cos im SPOA on hilux fronts - so the mounts etc are all way different. however he did custom make it - so all you'd need to do is fill out his measurements sheet which he can email you and he can make it up.

Sky manufacturing do a full bolt in kit too. I think rocky road might get thiers from these guys.

i am interested in this, or the rocky road one. ok its all good looks ok. but has anyone ever used it or see it in use first hand? my SPOA the spring are basicly dead flat, in all the pics there springs see to be a bit arched
WTF! rocky road want 400+ just to post it! woth twice as much as the item

contact lowrange offroad Ph: 00111 801 805 6644 and ask for sean. ( he usually answers anyway).
They sell Sky gear and ship at very reasonable rates. I just placed an order 2 days ago for some sky gear amongst other things.
This will be my 4th order from lowrange without a hicup.
Cheers
Peter

Its not as hard as i thought and doing another won't take me 11hrs...but thats what you get for doing a proper job the first time. I can make track bars for other people. Just PM NIK for a reference. PM me for prices

The reason it took us so long was because he has a hilux rear diff, with the center in the center. Otherwise i would has put it in front of the axle, because offseting it would of put unequal stress on the axle. To get the strenght we plated the top of the housing and ran plates down either side of where the ring gear is. The bottom left pic is how to stop the flex being limited, it piviots 360deg and the shackle helps with the diff moving forwards and backwards with droop

That is seriously clever! But you should run the bigger bit of pipe nearly all the way to the top so it's stronger. I used 41OD hollow bar with a wall thinckness of 6mm. It's way stronger than need be

ive been emailing locktup basicly its going to cost too much to post a prebuild unit from sky. so he has come up with this,
using these on the axel

the below will not work on sierra diffs.
i have tried it and the housing is not strong enough, see pic.
i did this to try stop it from bending till it eventually tore away the housing
another idea i found while looking. than went coils

we all want coils
to post a prebuild anti wrap bar is going to cost over 200usd. due to the bulk of it.

the type that shares the load thru the centre bolts seem like a good idea
