Mounting of....

**TNRGreene** · 02-26-2009, 10:33 AM

Traction bars. Everybody seems to mount them on the bottom of the axle. Is that out of laziness or functionality? What is the theory behind it? Why shouldn't they be mounted on top of the axle?

the roatating action of the rear pushes upward on the truk pushin the rear down...if theyre made right..theoretically...i think...maybe...

correct but if you were to mount them on top & angle the frame mounting points lower then the axle mounting point, wouldn't it push(leverage) down on the front end more?

they would hafta be pretty low and the front wheels are so far away that the leverage wouldnt work out...and then theyd be liftin on the rear axle as it tried to roll

lifting the rear doesn't matter much when the sled is on

it would not work properly. you wouldnt want to try to pull the front down like that.

but hey, what do i know, maybe it would work. go try it.

Why not if I can get force down on the front end without weights? Not argueing either way just have not seen proof it would not work. That's why I put discuss

The rear end rotates upward under torque not down. For instance, when you see a ford break the rear axle the pinion goes up not down.

yes I know that. That is the discussion. Why would it not "force" down if mounted on top & low enough near the front of thr truck
