    I need your help guys, the truck's traction really suck and not just for the race track but for the daily driving.
    I decided to take the caltracs route so:

    Anybody has or try them?
    Any pros and cons?
    Are they worth the price?
    Dou you know any similar products?
    Any other advice?

    I also want to weld a 170 lb piece of metal under the back of of the truck's bed to add a little more weight to the differential.

    Thanks for the help.

    I'm running these and they are worth it, in the rear I have those and the hotchkis sway bar and leaves and it sticks pretty good.

    Thanks for the advice redaddiction , I guess the caltracs are the way to go and the bedcover will have to wait (don't have that much $$$ right now).

    Thanks again.

    The Cal Tracs are the way to go! They provide better traction and help with axle wrap. The only drawback is a little noise in the rear.
