Traction Bar ?

You must be about 4'' low in the rear then :smt017 Hmmmm.....

I have the same problem and loosened all the connectors and moved it up to get some clearance. It does not hit but the tips do not look as good. I am not giving up the bassani or the long bars so There will be another solution soon...

Well I solved the problem with a little elbow grease and a dremel. I cut the reatiners off of the tip and then moved the U bolts turning them sideways thisway they are not hitting the traction bars and I don't get that damn squeak scrape everytime I hit a bump.

I have a question about putting the LFP bars on my 2004 L with the stock exhaust. Will I have plenty of clearance if I'm running the stock, taller rear height on the 2003/2004s? About how much clearance is there and how much can I drop the rear WITH SHACKLES and still have PLENTY of clearance?

With a Stock exhaust you should have about 2 to 3 inches of clearance. you should be able to drop the rear 2 inches with no problem but if you do then do what I did and cut the schakles and then rotate them 90 degrees each way to have the nuts clear the bars. If you get any dinging then i went ahead and put a piece of radiator hose anout a foot long around the traction bar just to dampen the metallic sound. I hear no clanging anymore.

Thanks...Ok, I feel better about buying them now.

I know some have the Lakewood traction bars so I'm wondering if they will work good with a 2" belltech drop shackle? Aswell is Lak-21715 the correct part number? Thanks.

I am not sure on the Lakewoods I have not installed them. If you can give me some specs on them I might be able to make a judgement call if you would like.

I don't have any specs but i can get the bars for just over a hundred cdn. so maybe I'll just have to try them.
