ok so i have lakewood traction action lift bars. and they bolt around the whole axle and into the shock mount and lca mounts then they have a adjustable link bar underneath to lift the chassis up over the rear axle. tell me what you think about it. and does this take the place of relo's or should i combine them relo's and my lca's when my strange 12 bolt comes in?

different angle

 

They are unofficially supposed to take the place of the torque arm. Before everyone whips out there 'flame'thrower on me, notice the choice of words.

No, they do not change the LCA angle as with LCARBs. You can try that, but I am making my own to save space. Besides that, the brackets, hardware, tie-rods, pretty much everything other than the LCAs themselves, hasn't performed well for me.

I would caution against running them without a torque arm for strength reasons, but moreso the safety of you and other folks on the road. There was or is a user of this forum that claimed their failure contributed cheifly to his accident on the road.
