Traction bars
Hey: Some advice needed. My truck has 3/4 drop. Would track bars rub speed bumps? Would they really help at all??? My friend offered to sell me a brand new pair for $20, just your thoughts please
Yes, my truck spins tires way to easy....400 hp

Re: Traction bars

Re: Traction bars
I have slapper bars on my longhorn, & while they did take care of the wheel hop issues, im not sure they did much for traction. The thing that did help tho, was hanging a fuel cell just behind the rear axle, & moving the battery to the rear.

Re: Traction bars
