Anyone try JC Whitney traction bars??

I see they make a set of traction bars for our trucks, $69. 98. Wondering if anyone has tried them.

Used em on my 2 door tahoe. Quite honestly the eurethane bushings they used are Cheezy! They deform quite easily. Granted with the power enhancements I had on it they did control axle hop quite well.

I've been looking for something to control rear wheel hop in snow. I don't sled pull and have a bone stock motor so I don't think I need anything super heavy duty.

In snow alot of the time chassis flex is confused with wheel hop. ESPECIALLY with the Long Bed Quad Cabs. Mine flexes tremendously.

Does anyone know if these will work for my 02? It says they only go up to 00 trucks but I dont think anything changed anything underneath beyond 00 till the 3rd gen trucks. Any info guys?

I tried a set of Rancho tractions bars on my 2001 2-wheel drive. They're probably the same as JC Whitney's and they were the biggest POC I put on that truck.

I wouldn't install those on my truck. The rear wheels actually move in an arc as the springs compress, the grommets are there to allow that length change to take place.



You'd be better off with a set of the old snubber bars bolted under spring pack. They do decrease ground clearance but they work and they're not too expensive.



Tim, my wheels hop like crazy in snow, tell me more about your chassis flex theory.
