Default Re: Traction bar length??

That snubber had better contact directly under the spring eye and tranfer force directly up into it. Strongest part of the spring and the most leverage applied. A lot of traction bars fall a few inches short and push on the leaf spring. That bends the springs in that spot and is hard on them. As far as those Lakewood JR's, I can't see how they can possibly work and they must be just for "show". I would never put them on anything.
