If you plan to pull with these you might find they bend after a long pull. Alot of guys bend them at the strip, they are cheap tho and can't hurt

Mine have been bent at the threaded part of the bar for a few years now.

They still work fine.

Neither of those will work on a stock Ranger, since the axle sits below the leaf springs.

ahh sorry about that, I just scrolled down and saw the picture of the set-up and figured they were semi-universal like lakewoods are, didn't bother to do a search.

That's Ok
They say here bolt on, but I don't see how without a plate under the axle.

these must be elusive, ive never seen one. ive heard of ALOT of people refer to them as being great. but i have seen a CUMMINS....

have you looked into the OEM traction bars put on explorers? i saw some in a junkyard while looking for an explorer rear end and noticed they came with traction bars over the axle from the factory.

that arena you were in looks awefully similar to Wachula fl. i heard of some tugs going on there but have never been to one. i used to sled pull there back in '07 with my powerstroke.

Welp I decided to wait for after this past saturdays pull to put traction bars on. Lets just say when ever id put my foot on the throttle my rear end and my drive shaft looked like a V. banging and rattling the whole way. Its definatly a must
