Limited axle articulation. Sucks if you actually go off road. Its good if you are a boulevard queen.

ok what are you talking about there are traction bars and track bars, and they are compleatly diffrent

traction bars are bars you put on your leaf springs to stop axel wrap(there are a few other designs too)

track bar, well thats just a differnt name for a panhard bar, it hold the axel on place left to right, not needed unless if you have a 4link

when i talked to 4wp they told me that they get rid of axle wrap. i asked him if it limited ground clearance or flex. he said that it makes you lose a little ground clearance but it is worth it keep the rearend under the truck. he also said that it design to allow flex but to a certain extent. then again i am sure he gets commission on that $380...
