Gimme pros & cons of each.
Who's used em & on what?
If u know it, tell me what your 60' improvement was?
What kinda 1/4 mile u run (roughly)?
I wanna know tire in back & vehicle if it's not in your sig

Caltracs are powdercoated. Whatdabout Smith bars?

Caltracs are a tad more, but that's of little concern.
I want as close to a true bolt on, cause it has to work w/. my Hotchkis 2/4 drop. I don't wanna spend $60 to mill this or fab that. If so, i likely go w/. the other, whichever it may be.

So lemme have em, opinions, thoughts & comments. TIA

 

I have one of the best 60' in an ecsb and I run smith racecraft.. 11.42 1.62 60' hopefully get in the 1.5x this weekend..

 

they both work the same...but the smith bars have more adjustability so that's where my vote goes.

 

SRD bars are nice because you don't have to dick around with the spring bushing.

 

I dont have either pair yet, but from what I've seen and from my knowledge the Smith bars are the way to go (and are the ones Ill be going with). Only thing you may have to do is cut part of the leaf spring I believe.

 

I was lookin on my phone, but it appears u drill the leaf. On the GMT800, do I have to cut my leaf too?
Tyler, are they powdercoated?

 

I have the Smith ones. If your truck is 2WD you will need longer u-bolts. I have yet to install mine because I haven't gotten around to buying u-bolts, which are around $50/set.

 

Well I took the bars off phantoms truck and bought him some new ones and the bracket on the housing is made different and are nickle plated.. When I get home ill take some pics of the new bars

 

Just do yourself a favor and stick with GM U-Bolts as the aftermarket ones use shitty steel, when you go to take them off someday you will find the threads will gald up and you will trash them.

 

I didn't cut the springs or use longer bolts
