I've been thinking off doing this as well. ruff stuff sells the parts in pieces http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/Antiwrap.html?Screen=USL&Code=antiwraptractionbars
I may just buy the axle mount portion and make the rest myself http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/AWCOMP.html
the bud built one is nice, but it's $400  :yikes:


I am going with a bolt-on because it fits my skill set better. I found a couple of people on Pirate that are running them and have had good experience. One guy bent his up along with his driveshaft and the studs and differential mount were not damaged. You can bend anything if you put enough weight on it. The other guy is running 40s and has not had any issues.

I think it is a solid product, but don't doubt that you can put some fab sweat into it and end up with a strong unit for less money.
