Traction Bars Q's

[Radioflyer]

Trying to get a feeler on what you guy's would recommend for some traction bars for drag racing and or towing. Or if it's even possible to have one for the best of both worlds. Never really had to worry about traction, of course, until I got some good tuning to my truck. Heard cal trac's work good, but i'm open to any options or idea's.
Thanks!

I have pro comp's and don't like them at all but haven't herd anything but good things about cal tracs.

I was looking at the Pro-Comps, but good thing I read this before I jumped on them.

If you look around there is a few people that have had problems with them.
Can't get them tight and move around alittle.
Also seen some buckle before.

I built my own and they worked great. If you want to spend the money buy OUO traction bars.

I built my own on my 05 I had and it was a fun experience and cheaper to but my time is limited and it took me forever to get them done

This time with my 2011 I'm talking with Trevor @ precision metal fab to get me some built

So if your on a tight budget build your own it can be done for about $350 but if you want a bolt on kit I'd suggest precision metal fab or OUO

I run the OUO bolt-on Traction bars on my 2007 that I tow and haul often with. They work great, definitely one of the best mods that I have done to the truck.

We sell the complete line of OUO products so let me know if you have any questions.

I liked CalTracs for racing. They are effective and light weight.

I have a set of 3" PMF traction blocks coming soon, so we shall see how they work. My truck will be a little bit heavier, but that won't stop me from potentially cutting a better 60' than I did with the CalTracs.
