Default Traction bars 2010

I have a 2010 f150 fx4 5.4l and I want to add traction bars. Pro comp makes a set. I want to know if they actually work that much better to eliminate axle wrap and wheel hop or not. What do you have? And/or has anyone have experience with them?? I priced them out for around $500.

Yes, hands down the best bang for the buck mod you can do to completely ELIMINATE wheel hop and improve traction. They won't affect any travel of your suspension and if you install them correctly and lube the poly bushings you shouldn't have ANY noise at all.

I had them on my Lifted supercharged 07 and I also installed them on my F150 SVT Raptor I had. I would have them on my current ride if I didn't plan on lifting it (at which time I will install them).

And they look cool as hell!

On your raptor do they hit any were on the Leaf springs. That one pic looks pretty close. And do you find they are really close to the ground and hit on objects while off roading. Or like if you had to drive over a curb with them would the bang the curb?!!

I never had them make contact with the body or obstacles. Now obviously, if you find the right object you could hit them I am sure. But they were not any lower than the front cross member.
