No they allow for the suspension to move freely, back and forth and up and down and all in between. It just wont allow the axel to twist! Well, once i put the top mount bars on it wont twist. Hopefully get that done tomarrow

Looks awesome man. If you get to selling them I'll ponder also or if you are willing to, maybe a write up and parts list

Impressive. Hope it all works out. Traction bars are darn expensive to purchase!

Nice work! Looks like your setup will work with aftermarket leaf packs too

Might just have to make longer ones with bigger lifts due to the longer distance

you dont want procomps though, their design makes the suspension bind bad and does not allow for articulation.
