I also have some from Greg at Great Lakes. I like them a lot. Some other people that offer them are Calvert Racing http://www.calvertracing.com/ and Enterprise Engine http://www.enterpriseengine.com/



Dont know how the clatracs will hold up to pulling though dont know if any pullers use them or not. EEP's bars will certainly work for pulling. GLD's bars should work fine for pulling as well.

You could redneck it...



Buy two "upper links" for a tractor from a supply store, cut them in half and buy tube steel (preferably DOM tubing) with a large enough inner diameter to fit over the links' tubing. Cut and weld those to fit between your brackets (on your own for them) and you have your bars.



The farther foward you can mount your links on the frame, the less stress you are putting on your spring bushings and on your frame mounting point.
