Quick question.......
I was just wondering, can you put Lakewood traction bars on a 3/4 ton pick-up? Sounds like a dumb idea, but it just popped in to my head so I thought I'd ask.

Re: Quick question.......
the low buck slapper pars that I suspect you are refering to, (the ones for like 40 bucks or so that go on with U-bolts) they won't work, thy require that the axle be over the leaf, instead of under it.

Re: Quick question.......
Make your own ladders,Jake.In the`80s I had these bars for 4wds called "Bushwackers".They were a 1" rod with an eye/bushing at the front and an l-bracket at the rear.The bracket bolted to the top of the u-bolts.You bolted a bracket to the front spring mount that the front of the rod bolted to.It sat over the spring.I had those on my green`71 Blazer that had a locker/4" blocks/37"Swampers and it eliminated spring wrap.They woulf be simple to make.

Re: Quick question.......
Yeah, they sound easy enough to make. But, I don't really need them on my truck. I don't think it would OR could spin enough to need them.

Re: Quick question.......
It couldn`t burn rubber if you dumped gas on the tires and threw a match at it,eh?

Re: Quick question.......
She don't like to, not with the Posi and V6. Maybe when I put a SBC in she'll light 'em up.

Re: Quick question.......
Actually,some grow "into" it.The older you get,the more smoke you can make.When I was younger,it thrilled me to actually lay a patch on the pavement.Then,it was how long,next making two at a time,now it`s sitting still in a cloud that sounds like a revving motor

Re: Quick question.......
Ah man,you`re doing the wrong thing.You need to hook that Jimmy to the Yokyto and pull it backwards with his wheels spinnin`forwards.Drag him into a ditch
