Thanks for joining dude and great meeting you guys over the weekend.

Wish we all had more time to chat it up but that just comes with having such a large camp... Until next time.

How does that rear track bar work? it doesn't create any binding? I've only ever seen them work if one side had a pivot.

Sure thing buddy! Likewise.

Without a frame-side shackle, any rear bars to my knowledge will create binding to some degree. However with good mounting location geometry and joint selection, it’s mitigated. When these traction bars were being developed around these leafs, they allowed up to 18” of clean wheel travel when not being limited by shock length; so the stock location rear shocks are still ultimately my limiting factor back there!
