Holy schnickies!?! That's a long *** bar. That would make antisquat even worse. I'm going to have to see these in action to believe it.

I am interested to see how these work. I am going to need all the traction aid I can get with the new setup. I have been debating a set of CalTracs for a few years now. I just don't think they are as effective on Hotchkis leafs as they are on stock leafs. Maybe this long bar setup is just what I need. Keep us updated please.

Here it is so far. The bars need cut to length, and have the inserts welded in. It also needs a couple more mount bolts, but you get the gist.
