Post Need traction bad!!

I looked at some rubber I layed down on the way to work this morning, & realized that I am getting a lot of wheel hop. My patches looked like checkerboards! Are Caltracs the only solution? how much are they new? This rubber burning thing is starting to get exce$$ive. NEED MORE TRACTION. Lloyd

If your bed is lined, then I suggest you get some sandbags. If it isn't, then I still say sandbags, but that may scratch your finish.

If you decide to go with the Cal-Tracs, I am selling mine. They are currently on ebay. They are brand new. Just decided that I wasn't going to modify the truck that much.
Paid $319 + $20 for the u-bolts.

Dave, I saw your caltracs on evil bay. My concern is that I don't want to compromise handling & ride for traction. Lloyd
