These are not from my truck, but I remembered seeing this post elsewhere not to long ago so I pulled the pics for you:

Can you not use the URD traction bars on the X?

Here is one by cal tracs. Unlike URD it contians 2 bars as opposed to urd having only one in the center.

I can't pull up the URD site here at work for some reason but I thought that the URD kit contained 2 bars aswell...

No only one large one in the center.

Seems like you'd still have a chance at getting some axle wrap with one in the center like that, I've always seen them on the outside of the axle.

My photos above are of the URD. The URD setup is a single bar placed in the middle from what I've seen.

These pictures are of my truck :biggrin: its the URD Traction bar in black, this thing is badass and well worth it ! one of my other favorite mods :top:

THANKS A TON!!! all of you. i have seen the URD/Bud bars but not actually mounted up. I was interested in something like Cal Tracs but couldn't remeber who the other maker of bars was other then Bud. This is a mod for the near future.

I like the idea, but due to my mod I need some changes, Sorry Xrobber I keep you post it! I will have a different set up :biggrin:

What exactly does a traction bar do and what type of differences did you folks feel?

 

[DOGO X]

Not Wheel hoop! :top: After a straigh launch

The bars keep the axel from twisting the leaf springs. If you ever accelerate over a bumpy road you get a hoppy feeling as the axle loads and unloads off the leaf springs when it is twisitng against the driveforce. The harder you lunch the worse it can be unless you just spin. Even then you might spin and hop at the same time. As you build power and loose traction the bars just keep the wheel and axle geometry from getting outta hand.

You can preload the traction bars bit and stiffen the ride as well. You "tune" the feel.

Exactly what he said :rock: ! i love the URD traction bar, the single bar design works really well and still lets the rear end suspension to move independently... and !! its adjustable :biggrin: night and day difference

and still lets the rear end suspension to move independently

That is what would make be but the URD over the other ones:top:

Whoever has the cal tracs, how do you like them? Can you see them without kneeling down? Anything else about them that you like or dislike? thanks.
