Does anyone know if these will fit my 04 2WD VHO? It is lowered with 3" drop springs in the rear, but I don't think that will matter.
Lakewood bars
Thanks in advance.

caltracs are easy to put on..jsut drop and reinstall the leaf...very simple and they work the best!

well the cal tracs are pre loadable..so if you are only concerned about traction at the strip then just unload them and they will drive like factory....loaded they are a bit stiffer because they are essentially pushing the springs back down

well you can set them however you want...hard...soft..or in between...jsut twist it to or from....100% customizable
Here's my Cal Tracs and I love them! They took 4 hours to install with the machine work on the drop hangers. You'll have to remove about 1" - 1 1/2" of metal if you have Bell Tech hangers.

Nice :drool: I sure hope you measured everything before you installed them so you can make me a set, Lance. :lol:
Trust me, the thought has crossed my mind. I've been busy helping a friend with his outlaw 10.5 so not much time for any fab work at the moment. Once we get him back on the track I'll see what I can come up with. Pressing the damn spring bushing out was the hardest task of the install.

I think it's important to point out here that the Cal-tracs won't work w/ a flip-kit! I'm sure there are a lot of guys on here that are lowered and into the weeds! I have a 6/7 drop myself and I'm looking for some type of setup to help in the rear w/ wheel hop! Anyone in the same boat and figured anything out?
Calvert Racing(caltracs) has a kit for the flip kitted 6" GM drops. They also have a mod they do to the 2" drop hangers to make their caltracs work on lowered vehicles. I have seen many trucks with a flip and caltracs at the dragstrip.

they will work with any lowere config..jsut call calvert racing and tell them what you have
When I had my rear end apart on my lowered truck, I welded the tubes to the pig, installed an Eaton Posi unit, ground everything baby smooth, sand-blasted everything(brakes, individual leaf-springs, etc.), and then sent it all to the powder-coater. Oh...and I also welded on recievers to the bottom of my rear-end to accomodate new fabricated nickel-plated, adjustable heim joint, torsion bars going forward to the frame rails. You could go this same route. But those Cal-whatevers look sweet.Quote:
