Not sure if this is the place or not but I recently put a turbo on a lifted sierra 1500. The truck does have blocks in the rear and add a leafs. Trying to decide the best route, new leaf with little to no block or traction bars. I would prefer to not do both if i can it is just my daily but I do tow with it as well. Opinions?

 

Traction bars would be the better than new leaves, but both would be ideal. If you tow you may want the stiffer springs for the added weight, but traction bars with airbags would be about the same.

 

I have used caltracs just not on a lifted truck, I spoke with them and they said those would work great. Anyone else use them on a lifted truck?

 

I have a shackle flip and two add-a-leaves on my truck and i have no wheel hop with a heads/cam 6.0, loose converter, and 37's.

 

Dealing with same thing on my 99 with no boost.... Running 2500hd springs with basically 6" of block...planning to run a set of traction or ladder bars just undecided as to which brand..... In for info

 

Lifted here and plan to build a set of long bars

 

What length you planning to run george??

 

Havent measured yet but probably be around 5'
Not sure on diameter yet either

 

As far as i can tell on my ecsb from the fromt of the lower u bolt bracket (cant remember what the hell its called) to where the frame goes upat an angle is right at like 52", i was thinking 54" bars just to get me on the flat part of the frame or should i bring it to where the frame starts to go up?? Kind of on the first part of the angle...

 

Lightnings do 54 and 58

Im lifted so figuring longer will help, also longer will help leverage

Thinking 1.5 or 1.625 tubing
