Do they help with traction beyond just stopping wheel hop?

Those are mine, where did you get those pics from, I haven't posted those in ages?

Yeah, they are freakin great, but they increase road harshness, and make the rear end very bouncy on rough roads, causing the rear to dart from side to side! The problem is that they stay preloaded. The old type would only contact the leafs when you got on it. These are great for launches though. I could full throttle it out of a corner and barely spin the tires, and I got 4.10's!

I wanted to show to a friend of mine so I copied them to my hd when you posted them. I had a feeling they were your. I just did not remember.
Aren't these tractions bars adjustable?

hodgeee

Yeah, the level of preload can be adjusted. For the street, 0 preload is the best, or actually turn them one half turn loose after they touch the leaf spring, this makes them still kick in when you floor it from a stand still, but leaves them riding much nicer than with them loaded. At the track, driver side is one half a turn, and passenger is one full turn, then they hook really nice.
