Finally got my 3.73 gears, axle flip kit, traction bars, and removed the step bars. No pics during install of any of it. Will have new pics up of truck now when I get home.

Nice upgrades, where did you get the traction bars and do they affect suspension wise as in making it taller or not at all?

Got the bars from jegs, lakewood 22026. They haven't really changed the ride at all. Since they just clamp to the bottom of the spring pack the ride height didn't change either. They have completely eliminated the wheel hop. Haven't been to the track yet since that all was changed to see how much it has helped with my 60ft times.

They work well set where they are for the street, but next time I go to the track I am going to adjust them to where the snubber is within 1/16-1/8 of an inch from the spring.
