Front traction bars

[mcmullentrucks]

Just brainstorming. Has anyone ran traction bars on the front axle? Does it help?

Yeah, I've seen it a bunch on leaf spring front axles.

There is a 3rd gen dodge on this forum that has them. Wish I could remember the username, but you can't miss the pink control arms and bars.

Why would a 3rd gen have traction bars though? They already have a link suspension

I may be wrong, but look at the black truck that pulls up. You can plainly see three links on the front.

....custom 4-link suspension...front and rear

It has the aftermarket long link, longer links move mounting points which change the geometry which makes the suspension work to gain traction

Look closer..........

 

[Hurley]

Headcase is correct.

6 link, for when 4 are not enough. I'd like to know how that doesn't bind with non-parallel/equal-length links

If that has 6 bars at the front i cant see them, but that would be a waste of time to help something work better.
