I'm going to try the clamps [easy and cheap] and I'm also interested in the caltracs.

How would long bars do? Or would they have to be very long/heavy with my lift?

Weld the axle to the frame

i think the long bars would hang down way too low... what do your angles on your front suspension look like? what if you decranked some and got a smaller block? i know your truck would be goin down a tad but you could always put a 1.5" body on it to keep some height. But i think flat angles with limiting straps and a shorter block would help your truck ....

Since your axle is so far below your frame, a long bar setup isn't really ideal. As your suspension moves up & down(articulates), the long bar stays the same length. It will cause suspension bind, and likely rip the mounts off(eventually).

On lower trucks, with the long bar almost parallel to the leaf spring, the setup is a little more forgiving, but still can cause bind. I've seen guys with lower trucks have their mounts rip loose also.

mine ripped off the frame with a 3/5 drop so....

I havent seen any of those bigger versions of the cal-tracs in action but I'm sure theyre a good product coming from those guys.... theyve been at it a while.

Check out this video. My brother has the Jake99 Red 99 RCSB Silverado and he has LONG BARS. My truck is the Maroon 06 RCSB Silverado and I have the CALTRAC's. Here you can see the difference on how they work on the track. Jakes truck ran a 1.75 60' a and mine ran a 1.80 so they were pretty close but there's a big difference on how they squat. At the end of the video, Jakes truck was on a 75 shot and did a 1.69 60' spinning a little.
