Gald I'm not the only one. I wanna get a set of CalTrac's but it's a little out of my budget at the moment.

Try lowering rear tire pressure a little. I dunno if that will help or not, but I think I saw someone said doing this would. Worth a shot ...

you can make your own traction bar by drilling a hole in the over load spring and installing a bolt. not the best way but it works. my cal tracs work great.
