MR Marine, Could you tell us how you adjust yours? I still dont have mine where I am happy and when I start messing with them I end up making the truck want to go sideways when it breaks loose instead of straight. You running any preload on them or slightly loose? I would like to hear anything you can offer as far as advice on setting them up. You seem to know whats up with them, pulling 1.3 60ft times
Thanks,
Randy

great experience w/ my CalTrac bars
i have a set on my 1982 backhalved S-10. it has a Ford 9 inch with lowered springs. i still had to use 3 inch lowering blocks to get the *** down some but everything fits fine even with a 15 inch rim. you just want to make sure the bottom of the cal-trac is not lower than the wheel rim level. if it is & you lose tire pressure it will dig into the ground & you could lose control.
no they are not hard to adjust.....just loosen a lock nut & rotate the chromoly link bar.
no welding involved if they are the right ones for your application.
when i drove my s-10 for the first time it was all the difference in the world. it felt like it was on rails.
