My final coment on the new Lakewood Traction Bars:

Trial Run

Truck jumped straight up and left every time I ran on Sunday, also allowed me to pull two 1.72 60 ft's and two 7.74 sec runs in the 1/8 mile at a track known for little traction.

 

Good God Man! What exhaust do you have on that Monster???

 

Warlocks!

 

1BADTK- Was the install straight forward and what is the build quality of the traction bars?

 

He's right there! I spun like mad (even getting sideways) off the line yesterday. Several of us had to let off and get back in it to get it straight - not 1badtk though...

 

was everyone on slicks or no??

 

Most were on slicks. I didn't have much traction problems other than trying to leave alittle too agressively.

 

Did you beat that stang, Andre?

 

I ran my ET Streets and spun 'em up like I was on smooth asphalt. I used them all last season, maybe they're too worn...

 

LOL, Yep I did.

 

At $90.00 a set, they might last the season, but my truck is hard on everything.

 

Is there different sizes or part #'s. I was at my local Autozone today and they have a set on display for $29.99.

 

Yes there are diffenent sizes, the Ford F-150 part number is LAK21910, but if you have Bassini exhaust they may not fit. Ordered mine from Summit, not in their catalog only via web site search. Be ready to send them back if your exhaust has been modified. Or modify the way you install them, but hang on when you hit the throttle and the slicks hook up The truck will jump straight up and plant the rear wheels.

 

im thinking about getting a set and reinforce them. I can do it at work so cost will be minimal .

 

I hope they hold up Andre, it would be a good benefit for others.
