Default Would Caltracs help offroad?

I have an 01 2500 on 35s that I offroad in. I experience rear hop in loose rock, etc. Would Caltracs work for this environment? I can't really think of a reason why not.

caltracs are more for axle wrap, but they wont hinder your offroad capabilities.

I have traction bars on mine, works really well for axle wrap and doesnt interfere with articulation
