Yeah, those traction bars don't look too shabby. 37's already? You're crazy. Seriously, take a deep breath, grab your futuristic camera, take some sweet photos, and enjoy your new setup.

PS: That machined finish looks unreal. The color is truly amazing.

yeah I think it looks killer right now lol, that was the shop owners idea. It turned heads and people came up to the truck all the time on 17s but holy cow on the 22s it's non stop I think I made the right wheel decision. Looks like I'll be turning 22 on 22s on the 13th.

I don't know who your talking to, but I'll throw in a comment. I could definitely use trac bars. Not only does my truck ride rougher, because of the leaf springs, but you can feel every bump in the road. Although my truck doesn't lose control in the rear end that much, I still would like them to stiffen the ride.
I'm not completely sure about them but I don't think the traction bars are gonna improve the ride. The main reason most people get them is. Because they control axle wrap. Look up one up offroad traction bars or one up offroad axle wrap on YouTube and they make an under carriage vid showing the difference. They will also help with wheel hop that sometimes occurs when people floor it and turn at the same time. Either way they look nice.

Thanks for the information man, it will improve the ride by getting rid of my axle wrap.

Btw, i don't know if I mentioned it yet but looks good. Needs a tad more rubber for me personally but all in all it's a refreshing look

Nice!! I remember a few months ago a member with poor taste and a raggedy truck decided to post a picture of my truck and bash because I had 22's... Of course mods thought it was my fault for bashing on his truck but it's whatever.... Glad to see more and more guys taking the leap to 22" tire combos... It looks pretty d&mn good!!

Yeah man it's a killer look I went through the 17s did a little offloading broke a cv got some dents scratched some paint, now its time to make her a show piece and get a dedicated offroad rig.
