Bolt-On Traction: Installing Traction Bars Thread nuts onto the J-bolts and trial fit them to the axlehousing. Attach the traction bar to the differential housing. the rubber snubber and lift the differential housing until the weight of the car is on the leaf springs.
Simply put, traction bars are installed on a lifted truck to help maintain its stability, prevent wheel hop, and keep your ride smooth no matter how bumpy the road gets. Axles, tires, suspensions, and trucks might seem a bit heavy for a casual read, or not if you are like us.
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).

We suggest a pinion angle to be between -2 to -4 degrees when used with CalTracs.
CalTracs are a patented traction bar system designed to solve major issues with Leafspring Suspensions in drag racing or other hard acceleration, such as axle wrap, wheel hop, and wheel spin on take off.
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.
These traction bars are also very easy to and don't solidly attach to the front of the spring or the chassis, so they won't cause bind or abnormal suspension reaction during normal street driving.
