Kyle, your setup wouldn't require any drilling in the frame or anything, would it? I refuse to drill into my truck.

well with caltracs, the energy from the differential twisting, (on accel the pinion is forced upwards towards the bed) is forced through the lower bar it pushes on the pivot point (cal tracs make it so the bracket can pivot at from spring hanger) then when that happens it pushes down on the spring preventing the differential wrap...if that makes sense.



in the picture...pinion goes up, lower bar forward, which then the causes the bracket to pivot and push down on the spring, preventing the movement and causing traction.
