Do me a favor and if you want the bigger cover, buy it. I will work with you in bending a bar that will fit. That way we can offer the bar to all our customers as an option. You deal with a little bit of leg work, measuring, and waiting for a new bar to ship.... and I don't have to worry about mocking it up here in the shop. Little R&D tag team. You get a bar that fits at no extra expense to you. And I get you to work for "free" for a few hours!

Well I finally got around to mounting the rearend. Here are some pics, let me know what info you need Nate. How much clearance is adequate between the bar and cover? The bend offset maybe as little as 2" or as big as 3"

I'm also having issues with those steel and aluminum spacers. There way to tight and which ones go where? Even before PC I couldn't get them to fit.

Thanks, Nate

I took a bunch of pictures and measurements for Nate, anyway he sent me this bent bar that I will be test fitting tomorrow, I am running the PML cover with the Stage 2 PB kit on my burb. I will let you know how it fits and post pics tomorrow.

Sounds good, keep us updated. Nate

Not to hijack, but what aftermarket covers will fit with the porterbuilt trac bar?

In the past we did not offer a "High Clearance" bar for the larger aftermarket diff covers. The straight bar only works with the factory cover.

However, we can now offer one thanks to the measurements and help from another stellar forum member!

It isn't a "production" piece yet, and won't have it up on the site for another couple weeks. But you can email us direct and we can get you some info: sales@pbfab.com

tinydb84 · 02-23-2015, 03:05 PM

Now that is customer service.

Hey thanks for the update. I may be PM'ing you for some measurements. Thanks, Nate

**nlped** · 02-25-2015, 03:50 PM

I ordered one of these yesterday. Thanks to Number98 and PB for making them happen. I have more in my diff cover than the price of the new Trac bar

What cover you running?

nds1968 · 02-25-2015, 06:29 PM

Hey Number98, can you provide this measurement for me. From the passenger side housing to your new bar. Thanks, Nate

**nlped** · 02-25-2015, 07:43 PM

I don't remember what brand, I've had this rearend for 5 or 6 years...it started life from an '88 Suburban and has been under a '76 Blazer and now under my '70 GMC (swapped from leaf mounts to trailing arm). Right now it has the CPP bent bar, but I am going to be putting a complete PB extreme DM chassis under it so I wanted a PB bar.

Here's a shot of it now...

Sorry the pic is pretty terrible, but it looks like almost exactly 4.5" right there.

Thanks for the pic Jason. The Moser cover measures 3-3/4" so it will be close.

Anytime! Hope this bar will work for you, if not I am fully confident that Nate will fix you up.

FWIW, ordered my bent PB bar a week ago and it was waiting on me at the front door step when I got home. I love new parts...especially PB parts
