Caltracs work from what I hear...if you want to use traction devices they would be a good choice...no traction devices for me though, I can get 11.5's without them.

I was thinking about you the other day Tom...if you've got wheel hop with your current leaf springs (Hotchkis?)...you could try my old GW springs, they're heavy but I never had any wheel hop with them ever.

Good job, every 100 lbs is worth a tenth or so.

Paul, have you crawled under there to check out the FAF springs for any signs of damage? I'm not suggesting there will be any, but it's always nice to check. You've got to be wringing them out pretty well.

If you add on traction devices like a cal trac or even a slapper bar you're going to have to keep an eye on the flex a form leafs and probably make some modifications to make it last. Ask me how I know :-)

I'm afraid to ask...but I've pledged to be "traction device" free, LOL!
