Do you guys have your traction bars so that the snubber end is towards the front or the rear of the truck? I have seen lots of old camaros and such with the bars pointing towards the front. If i do that there is like 2" of clearance between the bars and the spring. Towards the rear i have about 3/4" clearance. I know i need to get the taller snubbers but which way do you guys point 'em. Any pics?

Jon,
The snubber end of the traction bar should always point to the front of the vehicle. If they were to be pointing backwards, the bars would push down towards the street under accelleration. I installed a set on my 01 4.7 RC, and have been very pleased, no more wheel hop!

What do these things look like? I tried to get on to Lakewoods website but it wouldn't work. Do they look anything like the Cal-tracs?
