Landyot Radius Rods

Has anyone stepped in to fill the void for a radius rod similar to the Landyot rods?

Roadmaster Active Suspension (RAS) has been out for years...

Different design, same application and results.

...and spring swaps also fix the wandering issue. Search V/B or V/Modded B for some write-ups and results.

It's actually completely different... Different everything. Maybe the same effect. Never used either. All the radius arms were, effectively, were a traction bar.

To be honest, my truck with the psd with the tow package has never suffered from wheel hop. I've read the old threads about the wander and the wheel hop but my impression is that the older trucks, particularly without sway bars, suffered worse. I think sway bars and the b/v codes is sort of the new solution to the problem.

Several companies make bolt on traction bars that will do the same thing as the radius arm though, and there are a few different styles to choose from.

Check riffraff diesel and CT performance they both have the bars.

Stewart has a good link to some high end ones he shared with me once. Really nice product.

I can't even remember Christmas last year, let alone October. Good God. I'm all for researching a thread and asking a question that's pertinent, but this is just jackassery.

Apparently the Landyot Radius Rods are coming back and should be available around May.
