Not sure what material they are but mine came pre-installed. I can' imagine having that metal on metal clinking lol

Update on this:
Took the truck to the track on Friday night. Zero wheel hop!

I was not cutting the best 60ft's, but, i'll blame that on weather and track prep like everyone else does
I think my best was 1.78. Hoping to knock that down to 1.6x next time out.

If anyone is interested in a set of used VAS Traction Bars I just pulled them off today. Will post up a for sale thread later.
Fixing to install the RC ones hopefully tomorrow.

Here are the Rough Country bars installed. Just did a quick test drive and so far so good.
We'll see if we can take it to the track this weekend and she what she does.
Adds about 50lbs compared to the VAS bars lol. I think it looks good though.

It's the factory one piece for 9.75 axle but yes I believe it is aluminum.
