I finally got around to building my much needed traction bar.
I was originally going to mount it to the axle like MetalMacguyver did, but I didnt want 90% of my welds to be on the center section of the diff.
So I made an axle truss to mount the upper link to, then made a bracket to attach the lower link to the diff via the mounting holes for the vibration damper/shock used on the Exploder axle.
I welded in the tubes while I was screwing around under there too.
I also braced the truss by adding a gusset between it and the diff cover. The gusset is welded to the cover, but bolted the truss with grade 8 bolts so the cover can still be removed.lol
I will be using 3/4" Rodends for the ends, and a small shackle in tension for the frame mount. Put my order in at RuffStuff today, and I plan on picking up some DOM tubing soon for the actual bar.
