dont think it really matters either way ive seen plenty of people on here with caltracs get good traction and also with long bars i think the only advantge to running long bars is you can make'em yourself and for pretty cheap

i think that they come with an aluminum bushing that is narrower than the stock leaf spring bushing, it is narrow enough to to slide the bracket in on the side of the leaf springs.
