I had the same issue. I just hoped this far into the game he hooked up the cut out correctly! haha. I looked for a minute and then gave up.

glad to hear it was an easy fix


I didn't know you ran traction bars,I'm building a pair for mine. I hope they get rid of my axle wrap.

Has yours helped with axle wrap?

I dont think I had any wrap before since I dont have blocks, but they do look cool.... I actually had to put them on the wrong sides so they didnt go out and hit my tires, this way they go in towards the center of the truck

If you get axle wrap with traction bars you are magic. You may mean wheel hop? If so they should stop wheel hop seeing as it is generaly caused by wrap. If you still get hop with traction bars your next step would be air pressure but I am sure you shouldn't have any problems.

Looks light weight to me. It should work just fine but i would want to build it out of heavier materials.

I used the pro comp bars, but had to modify their bracket and my leaf spring mount since its not exactly a stock axle.

I had a local place do it since Curt is having some health problems. I sent him a PM on here to get a touch with him. He works out of his old shop, the current owner Shawn usually asks Curtis if he wants to help with whatever job. If you call shawn at The Exhaust Shop in birmingham im sure he could help you out.

Shawn just did an exhaust for me. got it done sooner than he initially said he would and the whole thing looks GREAT!
