the truck tracks are 10 times beefier and better then the lake woods. if you do get the lakewoods make sure you get the ones where the axle is underneath the spring.

the truck traks are a way better product and jay lincoln has great cust. service

they wont help that much on the street. and why by those now and change them later? then you are out 45 bucks. id say save your money and get some nice bars. plus if you do get them id recommend changing the hardware over to grade 8

I've been using them for a while on the street, work well.

I used them for the first time this weekend with Hoosier Wrinkle Wall slicks and they worked Great, didn't Spin or have axle wrap at all!

Lakewoods

I've had them for about 5 months and have no complaints, especially about the cost. I haven't even upgraded the bolts yet. BUT-you might consider Jay's T/Ts if u plan on big HP. They are beefier.

I've had them since the Spring and have no complaints. I did upgrade the bolts.

I netted a 1.8 60' on F1s back in July coming out at idle and feathering.

As far as on the street, I notice the truck plants a little better on the 1-2 shift. They won't do a whole lot for you coming out of the hole though. On F1s anyway. Not sure what they would do for a set of 555rs.
