I bought a set of under ride traction bars for my 69 about a year ago and am finally getting around to putting them on as I replace the rear springs and guess what - they don't fit! 
The hole spacing side to side is 3". My plates are 4".
So what is wrong here? I know that the springs are different lengths than a Mustang, but are the plates wider as well? Maybe due to the rubber pads? Front to back is fine, but not side to side.
The application says Mustang/Cougar....
And more good news, the staggered shock plates won't work either because they line up with the trac bars!:angryfi:
Can someone please tell me what is wrong here? I need to know the correct side to side spacing of the U-bolts for a 69.
