    Traction Bar Question.

    I have been looking around to get a set of traction bars on my truck. The thing is I want a set that is strong and durable but something at a reasonably cheap price. I know that you usually cant find something good at a cheap price but does anyone have any suggestions? I have looked at pro comp, (a little pricy) and Farmboy's which appear to be the most reasonably so far. So Any other suggestions? Also, second question is; If a traction bar is advertised for racing, will it be good for towing and off road use too, or do I need to look for something multi functional?

    Check out Caltracs. they are pretty reasonably priced. i have them on my truck and i like them. they had great customer service. it made a huge difference on my truck as far as axle wrap was concerned. and they only ran me like 400 bucks and change. and i was able to retain my overload spring with them.

    If I didn't get the deal I got for my Rize set I would have gone with FarmBoy fab.

    Farmboys are supposed to be very respectable with a good price. May not be as flashy as most but they get the job done I hear.
