traction bars?
Before this gets sent to the suspension section, I was just wondering if anyone had any personal experience with add on traction bars (not ladder bars). Specifically the $70 ones at bronco graveyard. I have a bad axle wrap problem and do not want to buy springs. Thanks

You are correct about the lift block assumption, as for the weak springs, I do not know. I have the factory block (with the part that hits the frame bumper) and i put in a 2.5" block to level the truck, since the front has some added leaves. I have an F250 4x4, and I am only trying to fix the occational wheel hop that occurs when I hit sand from a stop. I do not want to take off fast or anything like that, its just embarressing when it happens and the wheels start literally bouncing off the ground.

IMO spring's "worn-out-ness" doesn't really matter. Lift blocks definitely do, but I have brand new springs and they have just as much wheel hop as I used to have. I got some superlift true-trac bars, they're ok.
