Default Traction bars

Im thinking of fabing up a set of these http://www.hotrodsandhemis.com/Traction.html Im wondering, right now Im really not having traction issues that bad, will building a set of these help anyway by not letting the rear axle wrap, or would I just be killing time playing with the wellin machine??

what the hell you need them for white, your already 4wd?
if you gonna be putting that much power, might want to look into adding a top fuel dragster wing on the back. haha

With the bigger stall Im sure he spins on the street in 4hi, 4wd isnt a cure all for traction on the street with decent power and a high stall.

Yea, on the street I stay a little sideways, but at the track I ususlly run in 2wd (its esier to correct a little sidewaysness than a 4hi drift Ive learned) I think Ill use my bad *** fab, welding skillz and see how ugly I can make a set look, then cover it with some awesome mad paint skilz yo and see if I can make them come out half *** decent. I may get on this once I get it back on the road
