I only got to do a test drive with it today and I did notice it handled better already.
I'll really find out more on my way to work tomorrow and then I'll report back.

Well today is windy as f*ck and usually the truck is getting pushed all around on the highway but not today!
Definatly a big improvement with stability on the Hwy. Much better going around corners as well. The truck holds straighter but my tires aren't liking it much. Getting a lot of tire squeel going around corners now but no body roll.
Also, there is almost no difference in riding quality. I can't even tell its there until I go into a corner.

Now I'm going to look into upgrading the front too.

Worth the money.....Yes.

So what do you all think about this bar Vs. the Hotchkis bar?
Also can you buy the rear Adco bar separately from the front? Also how much are the Adco bars?

I know the Hotchkis can only be purchased in a pair (front/back).

Can't compair it to Hotchkis because I've never owned one.

And yes you can buy the rear bar separate, thats what I did. I was just the cheaper option for me.

I'll PM you the spot I got mine from.

Does this help with traction, or wheel hop at all, or just the handling?

Just handling for the most part. I've never had wheel hop before so I can't confirm this.
But what's designed for is strictly to help with handling.
