Spooled

Having trouble finding a set for 2015+ trucks. Need a set designed to work with lowered trucks that have flipped axles. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

try VAS fabrication near Houston. You can find him on facebook, vic alma is his name. I have a set on my '13 with a flip kit, and I imagine they will work on yours or he can fabricate something. They are similar to cal tracs but a lot easier to install. And, they were only $337 shipped to san Antonio, but I would opt for the optional rubber snubber for another $12.

Caltracs offer a kit to work with flip kits, I can't remember if they show it online but they told me that over the phone. Also Stifflers Long Bars should have their 15+ bars out by now, he told me back in November that they should be ready December 16. I just haven't had a chance to call and order them yet.

the problem with cal tracs is that you have to remove the springs and press the bushings out to make room for the part that pivots on the spring perch. With the VAS bars that isn't necessary. They have a cantilever that pushes up on the spring perch when the rear end rotates upwards. I'm not saying the cal tracs are bad, just a lot harder to install.

Do you have anymore pics of the VAS bars on your truck? How's the ground clearance?

I'll post up a few pics later today hopefully. I haven't been around here for a few days and missed the request for pics.

As far as ground clearance is concerned, I haven't scraped them on anything, yet. I will take some measurements also.

I have about 4.5 inches of ground clearance at the lowest point. The ruler doesn't give a good indication because of the angle and the case of the ruler itself was in the way of showing a good measurement

They don't hang down that bad.

I'm pretty happy with them so far. The price is really good compared to some of the others, and they're an easy install.
