Re: lakewood traction lift bars

I've never seen any of these talked about on this site at all. years ago, traction bars used to be very popular. Not sure they would work with a unibody. I think they are more for a solid framed car.

Garbage.

A good set of aftermarket LCA with relocation brackets and a good adjustable torque arm will provide better results.

Traction bars were needed with leaf spring suspension because of how the springs would wrap up under hard acceleration. Our coil spring suspension doesn't have that problem.
