well sold the cal tracs and switched to the Smith Racecraft assassin bars...

this is on my 08' Silverado with flip kit....

not so much of a simple bolt on,had to cut the middle leaf and mill the u bolt plates but they worked and i thought id share for you gmt900 guys that might think about buying a set for yourself.

this right heres shows as you can see there is no room for the leaf u bolt plate kit to bolt up on since middle leaf is in the way


this is where it originally has to be


this is where i had to cut back on the leaf for more room.


there it is cut back and hole drilled for bracket


snugged up,now its perfect!


tried to bolt up u bolt plate and did not work out right,here u can see where it needs to be milled open more.the center hole for leaf spring nut is way off.




well not what i expected ..spent 60 bucks at machine shop to mill the plates....but at the end they worked lol

 

Niceeee....Why dis u remove the calverts caltracs? No good? Lol

 

Looks good, sad you had to do so much work to get them to work

 

Thts a lot of work for those! But it'll be worth it!

 

what were your previous issues that you went with these? looks good despite the work needed. those bars are just so sexy compared to the caltracs

 

they did work great,but only cause i sold them to a buddy who needed em bad.
yea it was bummer but got her done
yup...waiting for road to dry up so i can try them
no issues at all with the cal tracs,i just like the fact that these have multiple adjustments.yea they are really nice all stainless steel brackets

 

have you gotten a chance to try these out yet? i ordered a set of them, should be here tomorrow. im wondering if ill have the same problems as you on the rear bracket.

 

Yes they helped my truck take off hard i can feel it lunge like squat forward also took care of wheel hop

 

I ordered a set for my OBS truck, hopefully I get a chance to throw them on there and test them out this summer.

 

Looks good I imagine the ones for non-flip trucks are prob easier to install. Anyone have any pics of a nnbs truck with these that doesn't have the rear flipped? Interested in getting some for my truck.
