I want to make some 6 footers with 2" or 2.5" DOM. Will the 2" hold up to light sled pullin? I was hoping for some pics to see mounting locations.

mine are bolt on application, built a bracket that wraps around the axle and clamps together. The guy that did mine did a very good job and for a very resonale price. Don't know what he would charge to do others though.

Anyone use these:

I drove a 2x4 megacab (2006) with these and it seemed very solid. I wonder if the price is the same for a 4x4.

I will get some pictures up sometime this week. Don't have a digital camera so i have to take them to walmart to transfer to cd. Mine you can take off in under 10mins but I leave them on there for Daily driving. Seems to work pretty well, they are right at 5 1/2 feet long and use all stock holes in fram no welding or drilling required.

Here are a few pics of mine that I got from Mike (XLR8R) with Lazarsmith. http://www.lazarsmith.com/tractionbars.html

They help stop axle/spring wrap and improve cornering/handling.

Hope that helps.
