will they put added stress onto the rear torque boxes, or do they transfer the torque to somewhere else to lessen wheel hop?
anyone have a set on their Stang?

Dan,Thousands of stangs use Lakewood Traction Bars, including my daughter's. Yes they push up on the front of the spring near the eye, and no I haven't seen any problem with the torque boxes. Don't worry about that.  SteveW
