By cleverly controlling the position of the rear axle, traction bars significantly reduce the bounce, keeping the rear suspension from excessive movement. This results in a smoother, safer, and more controlled ride, improving the driving experience substantially.
In addition to improving consistent 60-foot times, Calvert Racing's patented CalTracs eliminate axle rotation AND improve traction, especially on hard acceleration.
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.

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.
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).
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.
