Im new to this site and have a question about traction bars. I am going to buy drop i beams for the front of my truck and a rear flip kit that will put the leaf springs under the axle. My question is, what would be a good set of traction bars to put on the truck now that the leaves are under the axle? Ive seen traction bars that Lakewood make for an F150, but i think they may be designed for a spring over axle rear end. I have seen universal traction bars that im assuming are for a spring under axle, just wondering what would be the best bet. Thanks for the help

Check out cal trac bars.....Lew

 

86, How exactly do those torque arms hook up, one side connects to the frame, i believe, but what about the other side? Does it hook up to the axle housing or to the bottom of the spring?

Lew, i checked out the Caltracs, i just dont know if i would have to get the one for a car or a truck. It seems that their design for a truck has it working with a spring over axle, but my truck is going to be a spring under axle. Their car design uses a spring under axle.

 

They can make them up for you , you just need to give them some measurements ....

 

Here are some pics. I dont see why thy wouldn't work with a flip kit.

Like Lew said caltracs will work also.

 

What would perform better, the torque arms or the traction bars? Sorry for all the questions

 

I personally would run long bars over caltracs on a street truck.

lot of good info in here
