Well, I've got some considerable axle wrap and was wonder if any one knows or has an opinion on the best traction bar out there, and the best / most reasonable place to pick one up?

When talking about antisquat, just to clairify, thats the force that compresses the springs when power is applied? Like you hit the gas and the rear squats.
MrShoeBoy said:Gearwhine thats a hot setup What does the inside of the cab look like with the traction bar coming up through the floor? What space did it kill?
MrShoeBoy said:So whats not to like the contortionist welding thing? Dont tell me you cant handle the splatter falling down on you from above burning through your clothing then sitting on your skin. Its not THAT hot :laugh3:

CRASH said:The higher the percentage of ANTI-squat, the more the rear end RISES under acceleration. General Rule: 100% is neutral, anything less, the rear quats. Anything more, it rises.

I got something better Hot Metal on Nuts! Instead of the splatter burning through your shoe, its the crotch of your pants..... I never had this experiance but I know a friend who has, sorry Andy.Ha, I don't mind the splatter, I've got a pretty welding jacket. The worst part is it burning through your shoes right to your toes, that's not a fun one. It's even worse when it gets inbetween your toes. Time for boots for me.
gearwhine said:the twist and the shackle movement is not what binds. It is the twist of the axle as it travels. As the axle droops, the axle twists a bit pointing the pinion up (traction bar or not), therefore also forceing the traction bar to point up at a more extreme angle, that's what causes the anti-squat, but that's what also causes the bind if I'm correct. With the longer bar, the end of the traction bar will want to move to a hgiher height than the springs will allow. I hope my thinking is clear. Search pirate, there are some good posts about it. _nicko_
MrShoeBoy said:So Goatman, you are going to build a shorter traction bar to reduce the amount of antisquat? Will that have any effect on the ledge climbing ability of the Jeep? Then does this effect the street handling when carrying a load?
