Default Traction

I知 looking to get some better traction on my 2017 2wd 3.5L. I just ordered a truetrac. I was also looking at either vas traction bars or a RAS system. Which do you prefer and why? Thanks

What tires are you running? There's only so much you can do to get traction in 2wd. Truetrac is a great start. Next should be a decent tire.
Traction bars aren't really needed until you get into the bigger horsepower range.

Right now I still have my original stock tires. About 65k miles on them. Still have some life left on them but I will be upgrading them soon. Truck is currently on 5* 93perf tune with downpipes, intercooler, inlet pipes, turbo adapters, high flow resonator pipe, plugs, tstat, truetrac otw. Once the 93 gets dialed in then I値l be switching to e30

Sounds like a solid build. Should be able to pick up some solid power with an ethanol blend.
65k miles sounds like you need some new tires
Are you looking for traction at the track? May look into getting you a drag pack. If the street then get a nice performance tire.
