160 tstat because I want it to run cool on hot summer days here, and yeah I have stock tires. 245/70R16 Grabber UHPs

Does anyone know if they make traction bars for flip kit dropped trucks?

i got wheel hop on my stock tires. switched to 275/60/17 and it went away

These are about worn out anyway. This time I am going to buy the widest it will fit. Does anyone know what that is? My OBS would take a 315mm wide before it hit the leaf springs.

for wheel hop, your biggest problem has to be the pinion angle...

[RedHeartbeat]

wheel hop is most often caused by spring wrap-up. removing the overload springs aggrevates it. Putting spring clamps on the spring packs helps to strengthen the spring packs. Putting a rubber snubber between the overload leaf and the spring pack also limits some of the spring wrap-up. You're always going to have issues with some spring wrap-up where the spring is only one layer thick up by the front eye bolt, Caltracs help prevent wrap-up in that location.

How do you like your Grabber UHps?

I still have the overload springs and also have the snubbers on each overload spring but it still hops like crazy. Caltracs would help for sure, but I think the flip kit rules out that option, or do they make something that would work?

I love them. They wear faster than normal tires but that can be expected. They hook up very well, especially for 245s, and in the rain they act like the road is dry.
