Mrpositraction - I also have run the Procomp parts on two trucks. I was happy with them but wasn't 100% happy. Reason being is that the bars attach to the front of the axle and not the bottom. Having them attach to the front still allows some wrap, mounting at the bottom does not. Don't get me wrong they helped a lot but not as good as trucks with bars that the bars attach to the bottom. I also had no issues with binding while flexing or towing when running the procomps.

Longbars do change the arch of the spring a tiny but as I said nothing to really worry about.

Id like to add this statement. I am not a suspension expert, nor do I claim to know everything about traction devises.

I am basing my comments in my experience with other owners of these devises, and my thoughts on how each of them work. My theory's could be complete *** backwards but I think I have a good idea of how it all works.
