Default Full race traction bar with stock rad

I am lookin into getting a full race traction bar. I don't have enough money to buy the full-race radiator. I have heard that the stock radiator works but you have to lean it back. Does anybody else have this setup and how well does it work. Pics would be awesome. Thanks
Casey

do you think they would put on a d-series front mount for me too if I asked them....or would I have to fab one.... I mainly want the full race one since I have DA LCA which bolts line up in a slightly different angle ao I had to grind out my radius rods to make them fit. and the full race one looks like its got ends that won't affect that. Also I have problems with how far back my passenger wheel sits in the wheel well but it looks like the full race one has some adjustment

yeah my LCA mount point on the frame was bent....thought I had it fixed....I will get it up on the lift this weekend and take another good look at her....I was just thinkin with the full race traction bar I could tighten up that radius arm and use that to suck the wheel forward
