Why do the Pro-Comps seem universal, but the Cal Trac people want you to call for more info if you have a lifted truck? I just want the best solution, I don't care how much it costs.

Stiffler Bars are what I would consider to be the best! Best traction bars?-photo474.jpg

After much research, I ordered a set of the Stiffler bars this evening, hope to have them by this weekend! Luckily Summit is close enough I usually get their stuff next day.

Whats the negitive with the cal trac? Seems like they offer the best ground clearance.

Put the Stiffler bars on this morning. Can't really tell a difference in normal driving, but I haven't driven it that much. Did absolutely nothing to fix the weird clunk noise from my rear end.

My AAL did more to eliminate axle wrap and wheel hop, than the Hellwig helper springs that they replaced.

The elimination of axle wrap was a bonus , as I just wanted the *** end sag gone .... I guess if you never get on the throttle you wouldnt know what axle wrap is .... glad I dont deal with it anymore

This question was asked a couple times and not answered, so i'll see if it can now.. Can you run a Hellwig Sway Bar with the traction bars? Is there negatives/positives?
I've heard actually good reviews about the Rough Country bars and the look is great, I may go with those.

I never have trouble with my wheels hopping. Is that only on race trucks ?
