Hi Everyone,
I have searched the forum regarding help with the proper set-up of rear traction bars, and I have also sent an email to Duff for their advice. I was just wondering if someone can give me a couple of basics before I hear back from Duff.
I replaced the leaf springs from the previous build with new 3-1/2 lift 11-leaf springs because the Bronco squatted down in the rear. There were some inconsistencies with the previous build, and I want to make sure I do this right.
(I was told that the lift was a Duff kit; but, so far the only thing I can really confirm for certain are the shocks.)
The new springs are in, and the traction bars are attached; but, they aren't adjusted.
The main questions I have are:
1. Should the traction bars be adjusted with the tires on the ground, or with the axle at full droop?
2. What are the actual specs for set-up? (In other words, what is optimal for street and trail?)
(I have some other questions; but, I didn't want to ask too much in one thread. From what I have read, traction bars may not be the best option for axle wrap; however, are they better than nothing until something better is installed? I will also be looking for help with the parking brake lines... disk brakes were installed on the rear, and the way the parking brake lines are run, they limit the droop of the axle.)
Thanks for any advice.
Jeff
