Traction bars(pics)
 

Finally got around to putting these on.They're Lazar bars from Lazarsmith(XLR8R).Got a driveline vibration after install.Shimmed the carrier bearing a 1/2" and problem solved.Was probably caused by the combination of leveling kit and airbags and no more axle wrap helping compensate the already messed up driveline angle .Ride quality is greatly improved.This truck handles like a Vette now[guitar]!The ride is a little stiffer but they make the trucks handling and rough roads feel so much better.No more squat in the rear end under hard excelleration.Should have got these along time ago.Thanks Mike.

Your u joints will thank you!!!

Yeah, I've done been down that road!

I went down that raod twice and 1 carrier bearing... GDP strippers, no problems....

Looks good!...............What is the purpose of these?

Wheel Hop, it sucks

Looks good.

I see the front mount is bolted on,do they go all the through?I would assume so but could not tell from the pic.

The front bracket is drilled and tapped in 5 places.Its gonna get a few spot welds tomorrow when I get to the shop.

they look really nice they will help out alot also

Looks good, Jason! :cool:

[laugh] Now you'd best roll on down to Nelson's before garbage day... [tapdshut]

I found the adjusting tools. My wife doesn't know where it is to throw it out with trash, (like my bushings)!

Woo Hoo! [roll]

Hey, I never got back to you about those pix you sent - your truck looks Bad to the Bone! :cool:

Are you sure you're not 20-something? :o



p.s. nice doggie... and I was wondering if it's OK to move into your guest house? [laugh]

Nice...I'm needing some.

I gotta say, there are those we've heard that have complained about the cost of these, vs say caltracs for example, but the quality and workmanship of these babies (I got Lazar Bars as well) is second to none! Big, beefy and stout. You have to handle these things to appreciate them.

Very well worth the $$$ IMO. [guitar]

So, do they eliminate the wheel hop?
