Just bought a 6.7. Lifted 6 in on 37s. I am about to tune and ****** it and am wondering how badly would i need traction bars? How much better will the truck preform with them? Can any damage be caused without them due to the amount of torque these engines produce?

Damage be caused with out them? I doubt it. But the truck will preform a ton better with them on there. IMO even a stock truck Needs them
Ive seen kit that only put a single traction bar?
WHY NOT

Not sure what kit that is. Pretty much everyone here will tell you to run OUO or PMF bars though.
How difficult is it to install them?

It doesn't take much to instal them. Few holes in the frame and then what ever mount you decide to go with on the axle, plenty of bolt on options

Just did mine on Sunday. Yours will be easier because of the lift and you should get new rear ubolts because yours may gall up on the way off. Mike will take care of you. Here is a little bit of info and let me know if you have any questions - http://powerstrokearmy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75430
Thanks for the help, i hope to get them in the future.

Any benefit for a truck running a full leaf pack?

yes, your leafs are softer than stock allowing even more axle wrap

absolutely. full leaf pack will not help with axle wrap , in turn , the shifts will be just as bad if not worse until the axle is supported .
apart from selling traction bars , i am also a client , and i swear by them . i would be willing to bet everyone that has listened to me recommend them over the last 7 years , most of which before i sold them , will thank me for recommending them .

I have a bet going with a friend with a tuned 6.4 that is having problems with how the truck shifts right now, that traction bars will fix his issue. I told him that if he buys a set of OUO bars, Ill install them for free for him and if they don't fix his issue I will give him $100, but if they do fix it he owes me $100 for the instal, thats how confident I am in the bars to put up my own time and money when there really isn't a benefit in it for me besides the fact I won't have to hear him complain anymore.

Can you guys make a banner like the one at the top of the page that displays the sponsors that says "Yes You Need Traction Bars Don't Make a New Thread About it"
