    http://tractionmaster.com Anybody using these or know how good they might be. Certainly look better than your average traction bar.

    They do work well,have for 50 yrs.They have no adjustability though.You have to make sure the bracket you weld to the frame rail(front of bar) Is perfectly straight front to back and set up so it locates the bar parallel (front to back) under the leaf spring or it will cause you to eat U-joints and will cause unwanted deflection of the rear axle under heavy braking.For a street car they are fine but if you intend to drag race alot buy caltracs or the bars a fellow on here is making and selling(they look like prime stuff)Good luck, hope this helps you.Mad Max Mav is the maker of the sweet traction bars I mentioned earlier.
