shark_g, Did those bars help alot in the traction? I saw them ait AIM's website for lowered trucks for $98.00. Do they affect handling in any way by adding them to the suspension, I mean in a negative way?

This is not my truck. It's actually Oxi's. I have read good things about them though.

I've heard that Caltraks work good on 2WD but they did not work at all on my 4WD even with some R&D on my part we could not get them to stop wheel hop...they gave me my money back and I got some full length Procomp ladder bars that not only look great but work! They can also be used on 2WD trucks as my friend James has them on his 2WD Tahoe.

Here is a short movie of the bars from all angles:

Hey Ken do you think those other traction bars, the procomps, are heavier than the caltracs? They look like they might be BUT if the difference in weight is not that big and they perform better maybe they are a good idea.
