Caltracs are here!
I just ordered these on Tues morn and they were at my house Weds when I got home. Now I have to install them! Hopefully this weekend I will be able to get them on. I need to have different u-bolts made because the new ones need to go over the leafspring and the nuts go on the bottom. Hopefully I can get those today from Deaver Spring.
To give you an idea of what they are these are similar to the Landyots but way different. They are a traction bar but not long like the Fabtech's or others, these are about 26" long.
With the change of my rear springs along with changing from a 35" tire to a 37" aggressive tread tire, my rear axle wrap is tremendous. The front of my rear tire sits about 2" away from the rear of the step that runs along the side of my Ex, if I accelerate hard the tire will actually touch and rub the step. And it's pretty loud! These Caltracs are supposed to stop that and keep the axle where it's supposed to be. It should also cure my shutter on hard start when pulling my trailer.
I'll post some pictures when complete for those interested to see.
