If you are having hop problems, the traction bars might help. Mopar
parts guy told me to use a snubber too - have to make something for
the snubber to hit though, don't you!! I Took the Lake woods off my
truck recently because they didn't seem to be making any difference.
Hard to tell.
Previous best - Texas Motorplex - 15.480 with traction bars.
Current best - Houston Raceway Park - 15.379 without traction bars
(also ran a 15.387 and a 15.465 at HRP - different track on a
different day so you really can't compare with the Motorplex runs).

Subject: DML: Traction Bars-Again
I remember about a month or two ago that there was a good thread going
about
installing Lakewood traction bars. I can see the messages when I
search the
archives, but can't pull in the messages to read them. What
difficulties are
encountered when installing the bars? Any tips for setting the bars
(fore and
aft, or distance from spring to snubber)?
Are these the best choice? A few years back, I had a 340 Dart, and
the guy on
the MP tech line told me to stay away from traction bars, because I'd
break
parts. He suggested a pinion snubber instead. Unfortunately a pinion
snubber
ain't gonna work on a truck. Is there a better way to stop wheel hop?
