Default Lakewood now making traction bars for trucks!?

They just bolt up to the leaf springs like the ones I put on my 78 Trans Am in my younger days. Summit sells them for about $90, what you think?

When I hit the link to Mr. Gasket, it comes up with Honda bars <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" /> Someone tell me why they won't stop this rice madness. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Those are all traditional style traction bars and can be had for as little as 49.99 and from a local auto parts supplier (PepBoys carries Lakwood universal bars in chrome in stock.) In shopping for a bar myself, I have found that that there are NO application specific units available for sub $300 pricing.
