Those look like a high tech Cal-Trac bar.

Anyone have them?

They look promising to me, and quiet

I believe all eye to eye leaf spring measurements are the same so this should work for HD's as well as 1500series

They are not ... well depends on how you measure them actually.

The angle of eye to eye is different for every spring. If the angle is to steep, it could hit the bar, but in that case, neither would work for you.

They would be just as noisy as Cal-Tracs. Same setup, just a little different hardware.

Anybody know a price on those suckers? The product looks to be competitive with the caltracs. Let's see if the price is competitive.

Competitive, I guess? I'm still up in the air about these things. Are they recommended for people that aren't having wheel hop? I still don't have wheel hop, but damn I can't come close to hooking on street tires and only hook the BFs on a well prepped track.(No Problems Raceway )

I've pretty much got my mind made up on doing the 4 link/coil over setup just like GMCSki. I think it's a nice looking setup, and looks very adjustable. I can change those plans if anyone has a better suggestion, but hurry up, the winters coming and I'm planning on getting to work on it soon.

I would so like to do the 4 pink on mine ... but right now funds are a bit tight. I'm gonna be doing good to get a set of head gaskets right now.
