Ladder bars, Traction bars
Ladder bars, Traction bars
So, does anybody have one of these on their rig and does it make a difference? Would you know who to call to get pricing? Basically, I like to spin tire a lot. I don't pull or load anything into the truck, it just drives every day and I get on the throttle at least a few times during those drives. I do notice, I think, axle wrap but it isn't super bad. But, one day I went out of a driveway a little sideways
and got on it rather well leaving a lot of rubber
. But I noticed the truck seemed to bounce a little different. Next day, my friends mentioned that my right rear tire came about 8" - 10" off the ground during my corner while spinning. That would explain the bouncing that I felt
So I figured I might need some type of setup to control this.
Would ladder bar/traction bar help during plowing in winter or make things worse?
Difference between Ladder Bar setup and Traction Bar setup? I assume ladder bars hold it to the ground better. At least they did on my old muscle car days compared to traction bars.

Price looks right too.

I had a little shudder thought it might be axle wrap, put ladder bars on and found out it was driveline angle from my lift. Had to drop center carrier 1 inch. The ladder bars did help in the traction department. I purchased the Tuff Country bars.
I saw this over on TDR. Might be worth checking out.

I can't give an oppinion because I have never seen them. You might want to talk to TiminVA also. I know he has a set on his truck.
