Traction Bar Idea

[CHEVY 4WD]

I got a idea for a tracion bar that has a shock in it so that when the suspension goen down the shock can compress and when you flex it can rotate better then a 4link end but I cant figure out how to post a picture of what I drew in PAINT.

If it's what I'm thinking, Rancho already has that covered, can't recall what they called it. The shock hooked up to a bracket on the leaf spring plate, shock faced towards the front.

Kicker shock wasn't it?

Wait, I think it was called a kicker shock.

Re: Traction Bare Idea

If you e-mail me I can post it. It does sound a little like a Kicker Shock...

Here is the pic Nick(Chevy 4wd) sent me of his idea:

I think I would crunch something like that. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

A pair of Rancho kicker shocks will get you a similar function, and they mount above the leaf springs, out of harms way. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif They don't have a pic of them installed, but the kit can be seen here: http://www.gorancho.com/products/specialty_2.stm#Kicker

What valving did you have put in that kicker damper ? I'm thinking something like the ~360/85 stack put in upside down would be about right.
