Recon these would be any good or should I go with the 99 dollar jobs?
These are 41.88.

Both are Lakewood. I just figured one was as good as another. I was also told you get what you pay for.

The first one looks a little more "universal".
Get the yellow ones!

Thats what I meant, universal for leaf spring apps.

That's old school stuff there

......Both do the same job for the most part except the 2nd ones replace your spring/shock mounting plate on the bottom while the first ones just attach underneath to your leaf springs.

This means there would be no or little chance that the differential could rotate on the traction bar.

The first ones with the u-bolt will not have near the attachment strength.

I would get the $99 ones.
