Rob,
I had the Truck Trax on my truck. They worked well until I put the 2400rpm stall in the truck. At that point the truck commenced to wheelhop something fierce out of the hole. I installed a set of JLP Lift Bars and that was the end of that. My suspension combo consists of the following.... Truck has 2-4 drop(Aesthetics)

QA1's at all 4 corners
Removed Swaybar
JLP lift bars
Drop shackles
28x10.5 Hoosier Slicks on 16x10 wheels @ 18psi(cold)

Truck cut a 1.622 60' on Wednesday night, in route to a 7.49 1/8...Absolutely NO wheel hop & straight as an Arrow.

The Lift Bars should go a long way toward stopping that wheel hop. Hope this helps

Later,
Rob

Nothing like adding the pucker factor to make the end result that much sweeter.

Good info Rob Thanks, I think I'll go that route.

Now everyone else get out there and go get your Best ET's,
we wait all year for this weather and the window could close at any momement. Yesterdays weather was mid 50's + Cloudy, a little sun may have help our 60's, but the cool temps were great for your best ET's.

Captain, I COULD NOT have done it without YOU
and YOUR HELP, THANKS A MILLION PAL
