Title: Wheel hop issues
Post by: Lemonz on October 31, 2017, 08:12:39 pm

I've been reading thru posts for an hour now,  saw one user had lots of luck removing the one helper and going to cal tracs. My parts truck had a set of axle under leaf Lakewood traction bars in it.  I'm already running 275/60/15 Drag radials. Anyone tried these Lakewood bars? #21715 is the Lakewood number i found at summit racing,  i have these. Another question,  any benifit in both shocks being behind the rear?

Traction bars or slapper bars work pretty well to eliminate spring wrap

There's even some available that don't hang down
The fox body mustangs had traction bars from the factory that didn't hang down

And some available for off road 4 wd trucks that eliminate axle
Wrap but still allow full suspension travel
