Another issue I have with my 6" Fabtech kit is the crazy amount of wheel hop under hard acceleration.Anyone else have this?I've been looking at traction bars,as well as replacement leaf springs,instead of the lift block.Which is a better plan?Skyjacker 5" lift leaf springs, or some type of traction bar?Alot of companies do not make traction bars for 97-03 F-150's.What do you think?

 

Either one should work, but ladder bars look cooler.

 

skyjacker, bds, alcan, deaver. they all make leaf springs for these trucks.

rockymountainsuspension.com has a ton of ladder/traction bars for these trucks. IMO the skyjacker is the cheapest, and will do the job. im getting the skyjacker traction bars, but instead of using the attachment with the blocks, im using custom tabs welded to the axle tube to mount the bars.

 

I honestly think that new leaf packs would be the first thing to do to fix the problem correctly. Ladder bars are a mere band-aid for cheaping out and using tall lift blocks. I would do new leafs and then the ladder bars if i wanted to look cool.
Good luck.
