Default Traction aids

Guys I know alot of people have cal trac or assassin bars. But is anyone tested to see before and after traction bars on the mult leaf setups. I know the race car with the single leaf stuff is working. Any info????

i got caltracs and they certainly helped with wheel hop and if adjusted correctly will definitely help with traction as to be expected. clamping the leafs is cheaper but i like my caltracs. how much they help will also depend on mods and tires used. by mods i mean the more modded, the more difference in times youll probably notice and tires should be self explanatory.

On my last truck I built I did Caltracs relocated shocks and flip kit. U want to make sure your pinion angle is set right too. That's what most guys use on trucks and it works
