I'd like to see pics of Early Broncos with traction bars. I have a EB with a 14 bolt rear and will be running 39.5 iroks. I have Wh springs and don't expect them to last long without a traction bar. When I look under the rig, I see very little room for anything much less a traction bar. Show me what you've done and what works. I am considering 4 linking, but if a cheap traction bar will work, I'd like to see it.

Email me at home with your home email and I will send you a couple pics. I am running a Tera60R rear with 5.5" leaves and 39.5 Krawlers. We had some serious axle wrap issues prior to the traction bar install. I will send them to you this evening when I get home from work.

One of the shackled ladder bars will work fine, and there's plenty of room for it, unless you've got some other weird stuff going on under there, or honkin big exhaust...

Something similar to the 'Torque Tamer' will do great.

The best design though is the one on the LEBC site:

Not looking for store bought. Looking for custom set ups for vehicles with 1 ton type stuff. I suspect that Lone star deal would last about a week. Its not wide enough at the diff end anyway. Do you know how big a 14 bolt is? The James duff thing would seriously limit travel.

I thinking Ruffstuff has a decent one.... But with a 14 bolt I just don't know where it would fit. I have a 3" exhaust on the passenger side and the 14 bolt cast part of the housing on the driver's side extends to almost the frame rail. I think I'll have to move the exhaust or shorten it to make something fit on the passenger side which is why I'm considering a 4 link.
