Default W. P. Warrior Products - Torque Barz...???

I saw these listed somewhere as being able to be installed on our trucks thru 2006 models. I can't find proof of that anywhere.
Any of you suspension gurus know?
If so, would they be advantageous?

Maybe better than nothing, but they are on the wrong side of the spring to really help much. Also, they have bushings in each end of the bar, which will have some deflection in them. For about $100 more, get Cal-Tracs. They actually work, and are adjustable.

Actually, a fabricator here in town makes some bars similar to the Cal-Tracs and Competition Engineering ones and they do mount on top of the spring.
He's had alot of success with them on Dodge trucks.
This being one of them (right lane):

Hard to tell in the vid, but it looked like the rear suspension was bouncing around quite a bit on his launch. Maybe better than nothing, but not the best design.
