METCO or RANCHOS 58" Traction bars?

[alexr40]

I am buying traction bars for my Lightning.

I saw metcos and Ranchos (METCO goes to the LEAF and RANCHOS goes to the CHASSIS)

Metco are way shorter than ranchos but seems stronger and easier to install (complete bolt on)

You guys out there... what do you recommend? What would bring more benefits to my truck (which one will plant it harder and will be more effective?

Get the 58" rancho, theres nothing out there that is better for our trucks than those.

Is there a Rancho Part number for their bars? i tried but Rancho said no. Is the Gen 1 the same bars? Help PLEASE!

What are you trying to do, there is a difference between the Gen1 and Gen2 bars, they are not interchangeable.

I am trying to order Rancho bars from Rancho.

 

[FLBigDog]

How much are they direct from rancho, and why wouldn't you just go through a vendor???

One of the major tuners actually lowered his 60' times 1 tenth cy switching from rancho's to Metco lowers. I have metco lowers on my HD.

Care to name that tuner, from what I have seen the majority use ranchos and can't get enough of them.

i have the ranchos, the red looks cool, but the metco's are adjustable.

Metcos if your serious about the shit, Rancho if your just wanting something basic...

Personally i'm in the air too. Thinking about engineering something way better than anything for sale too.

Where can one get the Metcos? Im sure Ive seen it before, but I cannot remember now

 

[TXRickC]

The bar it self is from rancho.

The brackets are modified/made for LFP and other vendors.

You will not be able to buy the setup from Rancho.

why do you say that???
i thought you would be better going longer to put hte pressure more to the front of hte truck

Metcos are adjustable so you can set loads, and you can put more pressure on one side to help keep it planted. Plus the Metcos dont hang as low
