The shop putting my truck back together is having issues installing the new traction bars. Evidently they did not come with instructions and the u-bolts that go over the axle and hold the traction bar brackets to the axle aren't threaded enough.

This is making the shop wonder if they have the brackets properly turned and if they have the right u-bolts. I told them to calL JLP but I want to make sure it is right.

Can any of you guys throw up a pic or 2 of your traction bar attachment points to the axle.

Thanks Tommy

How well do those LFP and JLP T-Bars work? Are they better than Metco lowers?

The guy building the 4-link for me and three others had to put a hold on them because he is building a few kits for a supporting vendor on most lightning boards as a off the shelf 4-link kit, and he is also building a 6 speed for the Lightning for the same SV as well
