I've heard actually good reviews about the Rough Country bars and the look is great, I may go with those.
The Procomp traction bars negate the need for the sway bar and allow your suspension to fully articulate off road.

Hi, Mine will wheel hop on a hard take off from a stop or at a slow roll. You need to make a right turn from a side street and have to hit the throttle hard to get in without causing an accident, and the rear wheels skip, or hop.

Why not get the RAS kit instead of traction bars?

I have been wanting the VAS traction bars, they seem to give the best ground clearance.

RAS doesnt affect grand clearance at all.

I had mine installed with air bags. Worked like a charm. Axle wrap only some. Almost like a set of cheap traction bars.
