truck hopping

I have a 94' F250, long bed exd cab 4X4. runs like a top, great on fuel, the only problem I have right now, is I'm making too much power.. if I gun it in second gear the tires won't spin, but just hops. anybody know of a place I can get tration bars? thanks

You have the luxury of having a 94 that is significantly more powerful than most of the other 94's. I would suggest that if you are having an axle wrap issue that you need to double check your leaf springs, bushings, and shackles to make sure that nothing is broken, loose, or missing. You can add a leaf and that could help but ladder bars are what I would recommend instead of traction bars for the big horsepower and torque.
What kind of mods do you have on that truck anyway? What kind of HP are you making?

aahh, ladder bars is what I meant to say.. "double check your leaf springs, bushings, and shackles to make sure that nothing is broken, loose, or missing." every thing is fine there.. and I'm not sure of the HP, but i've got a 3" dp, to a 4" pipe, runnning to a 7" stack. a K&N cone filter, and an edge evo downloader. there might be more done too it (I'm the third owner) but thats what I put on. for a big hevy truck she'll sure move..
