Just wanna go fast
I installed some 40" long traction bars with ballistic 2.63 joints on my 2006 ram 2500. Still getting wheelhop/ axle wrap I've tried running no load on them and Preload. Same results either way.
Because those are only attaching to the axle at one point the axle can still rotate as much as it wants to
You're likely flexing your leafs then. I like the style that hook onto the axle top and bottom, then have a shackle up front. That way you take that stress off the leafs, have more control, and don't bind.
Maybe if you take the leaf springs off! :lolly:
The angle of the bars are probably working against the leaf spring arc making it hop, not wrap. You can have single bars that don't bind for more travel than these leafs will allow.
How many leafs do you have?
Doesn't having a shackle in place where the bars meet the frame ruin the whole purpose of having traction bars? As you apply momentum the rear end wants to move, so the bars are supposed to hold it in place, but now that you have a shackle wont the bars just move the shackle back and fourth, thus allowing the rear end to still pivot? Im just a rookie puller so im just trying to learn.
