Going to be adding a traction bar to the Willys as it is SOA. I am planning on using the Barnes kit found here.
Anti-Wrap Traction Bar Kit
I'll pick up some more 1.75"x.120 wall DOM to finish the kit out.
Most of the information I've found online relates more to the diesel pulling crowd/muscle car crowd and not to offroad. I plan to mount the bar on the passenger side. I still need to build another cross member for the traction bar to tie into but I am wondering on the axle side placement. In my mind, I am thinking I will need to mount it as close to the leaf spring perch as possible. I am thinking that this in this position I will not impact the articulation of the axle as much if it was placed near the housing.
Anybody have pro's/con's to this method or am I completely off-base?
