JCWhitney sells these traction bars for 4WD 73-87's. Does anyone see a reason why I couldn't use these on a 2WD???

I bought a set and put on my 76 2wd. they do work on stoping axle wind up. you need the set that is for open end of ubolts facing up if your axle is under the leaf springs. I think its the one that says (exc. with U-Bolts Facing Down). can't remember for sure but i think i still got the packing slip knocking around somewhere. If you want I'll look and make sure of the part number. If you got a flip kit you need the set with (exc. U-Bolts facing up) I think. the peice at the front bolts on to the front sping hanger. they sent me the wrong set at first, thier mistake, but where quick to correct it at no cost to me when I called them.
