FAQ
Calvert notes that its split mono leaf springs are designed to control and reduce excessive body separation in rear suspension and they can plant the rear tires without unloading. They're also considerably lighter than factory leaf springs (especially multi-leaf designs).
The traction bars do really have a positive impact on your traction. The reduction in 60 ft. times is real. However...it takes a little getting used in tight corners, pulling in to parking spots, in and out garages, sharp turns, etc.
We suggest a pinion angle to be between -2 to -4 degrees when used with CalTracs.

The pivot at the front leaf eyelet then forces the pin riding on top of the springs downward into the spring pack itself. This downward force of the pin on the leaf springs causes down force on the entire axle assembly and pushes your tires down onto the pavement/dirt.
Traction bars are a must on any truck in all honesty. It allows the truck to shift a lot nicer, and keeps the rear end more stable. I'll never remove mine or run a truck without them. My truck needless to say is way more fun to drive and rides a hell of a lot better.
In addition to improving consistent 60-foot times, Calvert Racing's patented CalTracs eliminate axle rotation AND improve traction, especially on hard acceleration.
