[QUOTE="JDub, post: 749911, member: 206"] I agree Dustin. Think there is more to it than meets the eye. However, in design, I think they are a true 'traction' bar, as the axle tries to wrap the caltrac can actually put additional downward force on the axle aiding in traction. Regular bars just prevent axle wrap, nothing more. But like Steve said, in some applications they don't seem to work that great. Whether it was too much pre-load, or just the suspensions unloading and loading under such hard acceleration, no one really knows, but it was violent. The Cal-Tracs made my lowly 450hp 2wd truck at least a little bit useful on the street. Without them it would just spin until you lifted, with them it would just chirp tires on the shifts, but then they'd plant and go. Money well spent. [/QUOTE]
