    Nice pic. Mine falls short of the end of the DS. Wonder if that is a reason? I have a 1 piece DS too. My bracket is attached to the upper cross member that is for fuel tank support.

    Thanks.

    Hopefully you reinforced that. That bracket is not very strong and these traction bars take alot of force on them. I've seen many of them ripped off.

    Yup. Mine was twisted pretty good when I finally cut it out and put in some real steel.

    Yep, mine lasted about a year before the stock crossmember ripped apart.

    Second look though and it looks like a piece of rectangle stock for the crossmenber on his truck

    Yes it is Snowy but, its not the wall thickness I'd like. It is one piece attached to each side of the frame.
    Thanks guys... now I have something to think about.
