What type of "traction" device do these have? If pullbar, is it biscuit or spring?
The new Lightnings are setup for Biscuit, and or lift bar.
I run a springbar currently on my 2012 car.
Have also been on the Lightning biscit bar.
Both work very well.
Thanks. I was just wondering if anyone was running the reese bar setup.
the reese bar set up was used years ago on leaf spring cars and after a short while they would break.
We got a couple guys running and winning with reese bars. They are simple.
interesting.... are they running them under the rear end forward to the center of the car somewhere?Quote:

What kind of clamping device do you have on the front of the reese bar? We tried it back in 03 and had a terrible time keeping anything tight because of the taper in the bar.Quote:

Like i said couldnt come up with a good way to keep it tight only ran it 2-3nights. It was a new car and we went with something more convetional and ended up being sold before we tried it anymoreQuote:

It's a stabilizer bar that fits into a Reese hitch for towing heavier trailers basically a spring bar.

Southwest Speed sells a bracket for the front and rear of the reese bar. They also have thier own brand of spring bars.
