SS ladder bars installed!!!

[BLACKRAM]

The short bed QC prototype is now complete. Friday of last week I went to Michigan to have the brackets welded and measurements made for the actual bars. The bars arrived by FED EX today. They were quickly painted black, and and screwed onto the heim bearings. The bars do not protrude in any manner below existing springs or the axle. The fit was perfect, as was the overall quality of the product and the engineering involved.

What do they do? Well for starters launch is firmer, if not instantaneous. It is impossible for spring wrap, yet the axle is free to move. No more strain on the universal joint from axle wrap. Brake torqueing the truck raises the rear end 1. 5-2 inches. #ad
Power is direct to the ground with zero axle hop. I have yet to test the bars off road, but see an enormous opportunity to increase traction. I would buy them again. For anyone with a BOMBed truck, this product is a must. #ad

The bars for short and long bed are available from Steve St. Laurent directly. Steve may be reached at stevest@voyager.net

Awesome, 2000ney. Do you think they will work on a 2wd without overload springs or spacers? My springs ride right on the axle pads.

I'm glad that you're happy with them 2000ney!! Last I checked we were up to 6 orders for them, hopefully we'll get a couple more in the next day or two and we'll be able to order the first round of them.

Vaughn, I believe they should be able to work no problem with your setup. I wasn't able to be there for his install so I wasn't able to get pictures at the time. I just talked with 2000ney on the phone and he's going to take some measurements for me tonight or tomorrow to be sure. On the long bed kits it's possible to flip the bracket upside down and that will move the mount about 4 inches up plus there's room to move the whole bracket up or down (for shorter or taller trucks) - I just have to make sure that we can do the same with the short bed kit. I just looked back at my measurement thread and you had given me the measurements on your truck in that thread - are they still the same? (I know you had the block out then but didn't say anything about the overload spring)
