Universal Traction Bars?

gotta 92 s10 with a TPI 350. and a 02 blazer rear. well i got a deal on a set of universal lakewood 28'' traction bars. but when i went to bolt them up the snubber is like 5 inchs away from the spring. the spring pack has the flat overload spring and im wonderin if that is required to come off to make these work right. Thanks in advance.

Re: Universal Traction Bars?

That's one of the problems with a universal fit. Maybe you can shim them with the tapered shims used to correct pinion angle.

You also want the snubber to hit the spring eye. Why not go with cal-tracs, much better than slappers IMO. Easy to make also.
