Default Traction bars

I’m idiot checking myself here. Local track called me yesterday and said they were opening up for private test n tune. (I was on a list). I added sticky tires and subframe connectors at the end of last year.

Long story short I ran out and ordered a set of Lakewood universal traction bars. Ordered from Advance because I could get them next day. It looks to me like these is no chance these fit. They hit the lower shock mounts. Am I looking at this wrong? I know I’ve seen slapped bars on first gen f bodies before. Do they take a different kind?

I wanted to add them because I’m a little leery of my 1310 joint. I know wheel hop doesn’t help.


I do have some leaf springs clamps laying around. I think I read on here before that you can add a clamp near the forward leaf mount or something like that and it will help? Any truth to that?
