| Traction
Bar Basics:
Traction Bars hold the axle in place during acceleration and stopping.
This improves traction and directional stability on raised vehicles, especially.
Overall,they help eliminate shackle and driveshaft problems during sudden
stops, hill climbing and rough trails. They also reduce the chance of
broken springs due to rough terrain with heavy loads. Excellent for Broncos
used in the sand dunes or for heavy mud bogging. They help to control
wheel hop and axle wrap (the Bronco “clunk ”). When used with
our double shocks and high strength U-bolts they will reduce broken u-joints.
| Axle
Wrap: The rear axle rotating
in the U-bolts. Repeated axle
rotation causes wear on the driveshaft, U-Bolts and axle housing.
Bronco “clunk ”: Caused
by the driveshaft snapping from extended to shortened position on
acceleration due to the axle’s rotation.

Torque Tamer Long Travel Traction Bar
With low-geared axles and high torque motors, soft long travel leaf springs distort under power - this can cause damage to springs and blow u-joints. Ordinary long tube, fixed mount traction bars limit travel as the rear axle cycles up and down because the axle also needs to move back and forth. Our new traction bar has a "V" frame designed center link for strength and utilizes a specially designed shackle to eliminate axle warp. The bar runs between the mufflers, paralleling the drive line; protecting it. It also maintains proper u-joint and CV angles under power. The main bar attaches to a high clearance cross-member and shackle. The cross-member mounts up between the frame rails for maximum clearance and helps protect your CV joint and output shaft from trail obstacles. Compatible with our Dual Exhaust system; other systems may require some modification. Welding brackets to the housing is required. Kit now includes two sets of axle brackets in order to fit early or late 9" axle housings.

Steering
Stabilizer & Brackets
Tired of having to wrestle with the steering wheel when driving on
rough terrain? If so, you need a steering stabilizer! Stabilizers
help reduce caster shimmy, steering wheel jerk and protect your steering
components. Our stabilizer has all of the quality design characteristics
as our shocks. It has a collapsed length of 12 1/8 "and extends to
20.5" leaving the Bronco's great short turning radius intact. Comes
with durable polyurethane bushings and blue boot. Fits 66-77 Bronco.
Brackets are sold separately. This stabilizer can also replace a worn
out stock stabilizer.

Track
Bar Drop Brackets
Lifting a Bronco causes the front end to shift towards the driver
side. The greater the lift, the more pronounced the shift. This
bracket re-centers the front end. The shorter tracking bar on 66-75's
magnifies the problem, so we've given that drop bracket a 2 position
adjustment to match the needs of each vehicle. Recommended for use
with 3-4" of lift. Complete with mounting hardware. Welding is required.

Track Bar Raise Bracket
We know have an alternative to the drop bracket -- the raise bracket aligns the track bar from the bottom by raising the axle mounting location. Necessary for installation of our Knuckle Flip Kit. For use with 3.5" + lift. Comes black painted with mounting hardware. Welding is required.

| Adjustable
Radius Arm Drop Bracket
Lifting causes a loss in caster, causing wandering and loose steering.
With this state-of-the-art adjustable drop bracket, you can reclaim
that lost caster and have great handling again. We offer our urethane
"C" bushings in 2°, 4° & 6.25°, but that may not be enough adjustment
for your vehicle. If you have already installed new "C" bushings,
it allows you to correct for the ad-ditional amount of caster you
may need; 1°, 2°, or 4°. Zinc plated for long life and good
looks. Mounts using our urethane strut bushings, #6100 (sold separately).
Cutting & welding are required for installation. Dropping auxiliary
gas tank is necessary for installation.
