This style bar is simple but effective at controlling axle wrap, just be aware it must mount to the front of the springs set not the rear.

They keep the spring from flexing , springwrap , when your under hard acelaration the front of the rear end wants to come up , they help keep it in place . They will stop wheel hop , & help keep a good pinion angle....Lew

ive got the exact same traction bar on my truck from jc whitney. it works great, i noticed a big difference in wheel hop. well worth the money in my opinion.
***and yes they will fit a 2wd, mine is 2x4

What is the cut off for needing or not needing traction bars? Is it a matter of total torque and horsepower output? I hear all the time: "I need traction bars." or: "I don't think you really need traction bars". But where is the general dividing line? I was wondering if I need them or not but can't really find a clear answer.
