Just scored a pair of ol skool tramp bars (got em real cheap)

Back in the day bogan fuelheads would jack up the rear end by suspending the rear of their leaf springs on 6 inch brackets and fit tramp bars underneath on the axle brackets escpecially EH HOLDENS which were the hotrods back in the early 70s
this was kind of a bizarre look with low profile 13" T/A s deep dish(10") rims
could this look ever make a comeback?

I don't think it will ever come back due to the limitations of the tyre manufacturers, and the lack of required sizes dictated by the era.
