Caltracs??

[ss454327]

Pm sent, my 60' improved quite a bit plus street traction. Well youll see in the pm.

Did you have a lot of wheel hop or axle wrap before the caltracs? Also what leafs do you have? From what I've seen the Caltracs work much better with a lighter spring (their split monos are taking cars into single digits with ease)

I did have wheel hop also, and im running stock leaf springs, with the overload removed.

Cal-tracs will not help traction on the street on street tires, it's just not gonna happen. They're street tires lol

I cut 1.5x 60's at the track. If I hit it from a 40 roll on the street with my slicks, I still blow the tires off.

I guess you may be able to work with them enough to gain traction on street tires but, why?

My truck is a daily, so I'm trying to get all the help I can with traction on the street and I'm pretty sure I am getting wheel hop. Also, I wasn't sure about the details on caltracs, hence the reason I started this thread. I'm still learning, lol.

Have you corrected pinion angle?

If no wheel hop is all you're looking for then cal-tracs will stop that without any tuning at all, but seems to be a waste of $400 in my eyes. Maybe try some leaf spring clamps? Alot cheaper and worth a shot. I used that for awhile and never had wheel hop...But then again even before that I can't remember having wheel hop

Guess im the only guy tthat got better traction.....from traction bars. If they were for helping wheel hop only, wouldnt they be called wheel hop bars?

What I'm getting at is 90% of the people that buy cal-tracs to put on trucks like ours, don't spend the time needed to properly tune them. They slap them on, go to the track, get traction without wheelhop and call it a day.

a mono or split mono is the best way to go with cal-tracs or smith racecraft bars, but good luck finding a bolt in set for our trucks.

Leaf spring cars are going well into the 7's with these types of bars so they do work, but people get the wrong idea of what they do. Roll racing traction is not it lol

cal tracs took care of my wheel hop ,not traction lol.....but it does feel nice with the cal tracs u phit the gas it lunges forward nice!
