Cal tracs are short. People seem to run them without any issues.

I got a 2nd gen dodge ive seen guys mount the back mounts on the leaf spring u bolt. On the front mount do i have to move it over to keep it straight or does it matter cause ive seen it both ways. Some guys mount the front ones off to the side and use the u bolt as a mount. I was wondering if the bar had to be straight with the frame. Can i just use the u bolt on the back mount and put the mount under the frame or do i have to move it over?

Just a question here, but what does welding to the bottom of the spring pad clamp do to control axle wrap? Or are you welding the clamp to the axle first then the bar mounts to the clamp? Tim

I have a question on your mount at the frame when tightening the bolts does it feel like your going to collapse the frame any at all ?

 

[rigcrawler]

thats some pretty thick steel that the boxed frame is made of

Looks good, you have anymore pictures of the bracket on the bottom of the ubolt? I like how you did that, a little stronger looking mount.

I just measured the frame it's not even a 1/8"s (.125") thick thats not very thick to me

I am building 2 sets the exact same way but I'm curious if your smaller pipe is full length going through the bigger pipe or just a certain length going into the bigger pipe? I personally am doing full length through the bigger pipe just asking what you did.
