Well, I'm sitting here thinking about my future suspension, and trying to figure out my tracbar. It seems like it's a no-brainer to use TRE's at the ends. It seems like they would allow virtually no bind if you did them correctly. What I'm envisioning is a simple bracket that wraps the frame rail and has a piece of 1/2"(maybe 3/4 in order to get enough meat to give the appropriate taper? ) plate welded to it hanging perpendicular to the frame(parrallel to crossmembers). Now drill a hole in that with the appropriate taper, and that end is set. On the axle end, I've got a couple different ideas for location that I've seen work, but I'm again thinking about just a 1/2" plate welded parrallel to the axle tubes and again tapered for a TRE and we're off to the races. Is there an obvious reason that people aren't doing this? I was thinking of using some beefy TREs, probably like 1ton steering ends(no particular part # in mind or anything). Opinions??
The reason I don't want to stick with a conventional off-the-shelf bar is 'cause I don't think it will clear the suspension. Thanks
