I've heard that the bushing on the link on the slide-a-links can be a little cumbersome, but that is coming from people that have manual trans. cars.

Same idea as cal-tracs though, but they might actually be less noisy, because they actually clamp on to the spring. I don't have any experience with them, but I'm sure they're better than nothing.

Scream don't think these are going to fit your truck.(assuming you have a flip kit.) We are diffently a broken record. I was on the same web site today looking at other things to create some street traction on this god dam low rider. I am pretty much consumed with traction right now. I got so pissed about it yesterday and went looking at 4wd's. Good find though I like the fact they let you download the install instructions. Gave me some ideas about fabbing up my own.

I have this link if anyone else thought about making there own caltracs style traction bars. Some good info. http://www.hotrodsandhemis.com/Traction.html

Yeah, I've got a flip kit. So Caltracs won't work either?!

Caltracs has a kit for a truck with a flip kit. And I'm sure if you ask competition engineering they could come up with something. They allready have kits for other trucks where the spring is on the bottom of the axle.
