A properly boxed in frame is as strong or stronger than OEM (trust me - I come from mini-trucking where notches/airride/hydros was my life before I moved into SpoCom.
    Traction bars are expensive tho, which essentially makes that $300 kidd header double in price.

    i know i know, you gotta pay to play, but still....lol


    AND, most of the traction bars i've seen for EF's have TERRIBLE ground clearance.

    ^^ LOL. These kids dont' realize how EASY they have it now - LOL. People will complain about any and everything when it's basically AFFORDABLE and GIVEN to them these days - LOL. Sheesh.

    For clearance on the KiddRacing headers hit his site - do some research on H-T man. THE INFORMATION IS OUT THERE!!! When I was dragging notches down the road in big shot single cam EFs and EGs in the 90s there was no H-T - there were VERY few accessible aftermarket parts (my hatch had a modified 5 liter nitrous plate kit) we figured it out. To figure out what was TOO much we had to blow shit up - rebuild it and then back it off a little the 2nd time around. You guys have it easy.

    I'll check Kidd's site later.
    Right now, your earlier comment has me researching DIY traction bars for my EG.

    I do agree. These young guys have no idea how good they have it, now.
    God, the things I F'd up before we had web forums to do research, first! lol
    Just call me DAD!
