Default Cal-Tracs

I run the low profile one's since my truck is lowered.
if you have plenty of ground clearance run the regular ones.

standard for more adjustability. also check into assassin bars before pulling the trigger on caltracs. same principal, but more adjustability.

Those look like the ones I got there huge as hell. What truck is that on? I Spoke to the place I got them said they people with lowered trucks and didn't have a problem. I put on my truck and still have alot of clearance bout 4-6" can't remember. Reason I got the 3 bolt and not the 2 bolt because of little more adjustment to a 3 bolt

First set I made I made the triangle a lot smaller, later it made me think they might work better if I went with 3 holes instead of 2, I don't have the new triangles ready yet, just working on it these days but I found it that 5 3/4" is to wide it would hit the peace that holds the springs together so Imuch making them a little smaller


Could u measure urs from center hole to center hole?

I know you already bought these but for anyone else who might be looking for traction bars for lowered trucks with flip kits and what not, Google VA Specialties and talk to Victor about his bars. He's build a lot of them and they work well.
