Truck-Traks Installed!!

Just had the Truck-Traks installed!!!

I8ACAMRO, performed the installation, a true friend, installed the traction bars (so the wife doesn't know about yet another mod) and even gave the L a test run

Jay Lincoln had superb service, he's a genius to develop such a quality product!!

They are attached to the springs as part of the axel assembly. You would have to run on the rotors to get them on the ground.

Koenig, suspension drop doesn't affect the height of the Truck- Traks. Only changes in tire/wheel diameter will cause ground clearance changes.

I believe that Chikenears has a 3/4 drop on his truck, and no exhaust/ground clearance issues.

Tim, do you have any pic's of yours?

that would be nice, could always use more traction. How do these compare to the cal tracs then? Any noise on either of them?

Truck Traks make or cause NO noise--none, nada. Cal-Tracks can make noise but there is a kit available that eliminates their noise.

Yep, keep the axle from twisting and snapping driveshafts.
You'll never know the Truck-Traks are under your truck unless you look

I run Jay's bars on the street in conbination with drag radials. The truck launches hard, clean and no wheel spin. Usually the victim is quite stunned to have a truck pulling 6 lengths across the intersection before they even figure out what happened.

I do notice they are on there IF i angle up into a driveway, other then that, they are quite peaceful.
