Interesting product...good find. So this is basically what... traction bars with preload adjustment capabilities kinda similar to the caltracs? Or is this an totally different setup altogether? Might be worth taking a look at.

Very similar to the cal-tracs. I used them before, and they work great. They are the exact same as the Moroso version, which is all the same company. These are a slight improvement over the Cal-tracs. They keep the axle from wraping up and the spring from wraping. When you apply power and the housing tries to turn the bars apply pressure to the top of the spring at the front.

Hey SLOW did you read the thread that says Traction Traction!!! H777 & Sierrasport recomended clamping the leaf spring together for helping on the leaf spring wraping. I put them on the other day and all I have to same is damn. Went over a couple of railroad tracks spinning tires and the thing did not want to hop. I know that some of you guys have a lot more power than I do so maybe something like above might help better. But I bought the clamps at Autozone for 10bucks... and for 10bucks it is worth it.
