Subject: DML: To Bar or not to Bar...
I was recently told by a couple of people to put
traction bars on my truck. A guy with a custom shop
said not to. They dont help and I should use some old
hot rodder trick with some sort of "ladder setup".
Has anyone ever heard of this "ladder traction" trick
and if so does it have advantages over traction bars?
Do traction bars even help or can they be harmful? I
wanted to drop the truck in the rear using the common
drop blocks. Someone else said that if I want to use
traction bars I need to use shackles to alter the
place where leaf springs connect to frame in rear as
opposed to blocks raising the differential off of the
leaf springs, and I guess lowering my ground clearance
by bring the bottom of the Ubolt assembly closer to
the ground.
What opinions, concerns or suggestions do you guys
have concerning this?
I apolgize if my twitchy clicker finger sent a blank
message previously...I have thoroughly scolded that
finger ;)
