Tuff county top mount traction bars
This is my first real winter with snow and the super duty. When driving in the snow in 2wd and sometimes 4wd I get what I'm assuming is wheel hop or axle wrap, it shakes the whole truck savagely.
Searching here I found the suggestion for traction bars as a solution. And found these : http://www.sdtrucksprings.com/index....oducts_id=6706
These appeal as they're top mounted and won't hang down and shouldn't cause issues of getting hooked on something If I'm getting firewood or anything.
I only have the 5.4 and added a 4" ready lift block so I'm sitting like a 350. I've only really thought diesels got these issues.
Would this help my problem or is there something else I should try first?

They do work. I had a buddy put a set on a mid 90s F250. After they were installed the truck would give one little hop and then stop. It did limit axle articulation just a little bit, which isn't a big deal in a superduty. If your truck has overloads they have to be removed for them to fit. I did a kicker shock setup on an 85 F250. It still kicked so I double shocked that setup and cured it. That system doesn't limit any flex.
