Default Quest for TRACTION !!

I've had enough of the lack of traction and wheel hop. taking some steps to help the problem. designed some new and improved traction bars (calracs). they should work a lot better. the stock 235/75 weren't cutting it anymore either. stepped up to a Toyo 275/60. i think this should help my 60' times a lot. in a couple months i will put the true trac and 4.10 in. 2 kids don't give much time.

Now get ready to watch your progression. i remember spinning one stock tire. Then new tires fixed it, mor mods and could spin the new tires. Then posi fixed it. then a stall converter,,,, still havent fixed this last onw dammit

good luck, i ran those same tires for a little while and all it did was wheelhop on me.
Just a fullbolt on truck with aftermarket eaton/4.10 gears.
Of course i didn't have any traction bars but at the same time your mod list looks extensive compared to mine so i would assume traction would be tougher for you to keep.

if you already have wheel hop, a stickier tire will probably not help the issue. the caltracs and tire combo should make a big improvement. should have tires and bars on by this weekend. i need to get to the track for some new times. the new mods might do in the old g80.
