Most of the lightning and harley guys use Stifflers, JLP or JDM long bars. Other option would be some lake wood slapper bars or metco track links. There are lots of options out there just not sure what will work with your 07

I don't think your gonna need any track-bars!
As heavy as that truck is,if ya run slicks, you'll be good to go.
I don't even run any on my truck at all and have no problem.
A Lightning is light and has to run them!

Not completely true all trucks are light in the rear. In my opinion long bars and a ds loop are a must with slicks. As for weight, most of the viper truck guys run some sort of traction bar and they are extremely heavy, 6000+ lbs. Same goes with the harley trucks. Read through this thread Todays test with the Stiffler long bars! - Lightning Forum | LightningRodder.com And tell me what you think

Big difference between a 2WD and 4X4 truck!
The 4X4 has much heaver duty springs under it,( help to keep the wheels from hopping and the axle from twisting like the 2WD truck do)
Ive never had a problem without track bars under my truck.

All the trucks you mention are 2WD trucks.

Mine is 2wd too, ill try the slicks at the track now that my truck is lowered over the summer, if I get wheel hop ill check into them, but there isn't much to choose from for 2007's. On the street my Nitto's do pretty well and don't hop when they stick, but slicks are different. I had slicks on my cobra and it would wheel hop like crazy unless you dropped the air pressure in them.

Added some stuff.

I wanted to bring my thread back alive because I have added a few things to the truck since the supercharger install. Below I have pictures of the oil catch can I just installed( literally today) so I dont know how good itll work yet. I also added Belltech 2" lowering shackles that turned out great. Let me know what you think.

Plus I have an appointment finally to get my truck tuned locally at Performance By Joe on July 18th, so we'll see what #'s I can put up and get rid of that crappy speed limiter!

Beautiful truck!!

Those saleen wheels look great, I bet they are heavy like my 22"black Harley Davidson wheels.

Interior looks sweet too.

I'm getting my truck tuned, a 2.80 lightning pulley, and Troyer e-fans and I'm done with my truck too.
