Paul, here is a photo of the bars showing the length. [img:center]  [/img] </div></div>***24&1/2"from center of snubber to rear"U"bolt hole,I get. Odd about the Bars.

Re: Traction bars
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: [email protected]</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Bill, think someone cut the front off one of those bars? The snubber position seems to show one hole or two holes available for the one bar.</div></div>
Sam the second hole on the longer yellow bar was added. I can tell that because the second hole is not on the reinforcement plate inside the bar where the snubber screws in. The second hole was added to the longer bar so that the snubber would contact the springs in the same spot for both bars. What got me going on this subject again was the picture above from "ChevyandPontiac" also shows unequal length bars.

Re: Traction bars
In all these years Bill I have never seen or maybe forgot that I ever saw uneven traction bars. I am updating my mind daily lately! Thanks to all you guys for posting this stuff.

Re: Traction bars
I know this is a thread about traction bars but does anyone remember or have seen a production set of ladder bars that would require a piece welded to the rear frame rails or would this have been a homemade job? Thanks, Darrell

Re: Traction bars
Looks home made to me, as does the extra leaf in the spring pack....

Re: Traction bars
It sure as sh*t is!! I never noticed it before. Great eye!! I didnt put much thought into it. Just figured someone swapped the leafs from 4 for a 5 but after you saying that I went back looking at my pics and noticed that the clamps have been moved as well. Nice..
