[BaadAssGremlins] Re: What Traction Bars are YOU using??

["phl_campbell" <misteramx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

See, I'm trying to avoid having hack up the spring plate, for that 
very reason, a universal traction bar will have to have the plate 
clearanced because of the shape of the spring perch, it has a curve 
to it that is real tough to get around.

It seems to me it would be pretty easy to fabricate a bolt on set up 
for cheap, a flat plate with the holes for the u bolts, a piece of 
metal angle welded for the shock stud, and the forward bar with an 
adjustable snubber.
