I guess I won't know until I drive it, but I'm sure my traction bars will stiffen them up quite a bit. To be honest, I'm not too worried about it because my brackets and how I mounted them are nearly identical to the majority of traction bar set-ups I've seen on lifted trucks.

Before building this I looked into a lot of different traction bars and bracket set-ups and I never heard of the Caltracs or saw anything mounted like yours. But what you say makes sense and maybe yours offers an advantage over the other simpler set-ups like mine. Either way, I appreciate the discussion and will keep these in mind if my set-up gives me problems. I made my brackets myself so I wouldn't be surprised if I need to make another modification in the future.

On another note, brossow, can you send me the dimensions (height and width) on your rear upper shock brackets your showed in the build thread with the shock bushing bolt from NAPA? I may buy me a set of those if they will fit my current space.
