Traction Bars

[XrunnIT]

That type of design has not been around forever. You might be confusing it with the old slapper style that although very crude, works very well. It has a long moment arm and it is very effective.

Slapper bars FTW!! :rock:

Long live summit traction bars :laugh:

As gadget had mentioned, the Caltrac/TTC style are good for acceleration, but not braking. When I finally get my traction bar i'm going to go with the URD design.

So far, URD has a few ups over the TTC bars. Going to look at the Caltracs and see if there are any cons with them.

actually late 60s mustangs with the factory drag package had bars very similar to the TTC bars. Don't get me wrong, I like the design of the urd bar very much. and would have bought it, but the lead time was too long for me as there was no sceduled production run at the time.

i have the TTC bars it was a really easy install i run royalpurple ($15.00/qt) i dont want to take a chance that my diff will leak. i think the two bars work better cause you have two wheels not one and with the LSD both tires will spin and will hop two bar just have better support. and i think they just look really good:rock::rock::rock::rock:

Try early 60's Mustangs. This was an option on 65/66 Shelbys.

The URD design was also used on Vega, Monza and I believe 3th generation Camaros. I believe GM called it a torque arm. There was a channel that attached to the transmission to the rear end. There was no slip joint it was bolted at both ends.

Simply put the TTC Dual Trac Bars are the ONLY production traction bars that were built from the ground up specifically for the X-Runner. We have sold almost 50 sets over the past year with no complaints from any of our customers. Obviously everyone will have an opinion as to which suits their needs best, but at the end of the day all that matters is keeping rubber on the ground. :top::top:

[Vecte]

Looks pretty bad azz..:top:

I like that the URD doesn't hang dwn, but the install is quite involved.
TTC bars are less expensive.

Just my $.02....

I wouldn't say thats entirely true...

They both do what they are designed to do, so what does it matter? TTC fits the X and so does the URD Trac bar...therefore both are engineered for the X.

but thats just my $.02.

I'm trying to remember if I've experienced axle wrap under hard braking. Maybe I have, but I don't think I've ever felt it. What you want are bars that hold the wheels down when you floor it.
For my money, if I needed a traction bar, I'd get the URD one.
