It uses a single ladder bar that attaches to brackets welded onto the axle housing, in front it attaches to the frame with a shackle. This arrangement prevents the axle housing from rotating under acceleration and braking while still allowing the suspension to move through its range of travel freely.
Those those leaf springs traction bars lock onto the leaf spring. And when they go to warp. TheMoreThose those leaf springs traction bars lock onto the leaf spring. And when they go to warp. The traction bar jumps up so this part here jumps up and hits the leaf spring which prevents wheel hop.
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.

In addition to improving consistent 60-foot times, Calvert Racing's patented CalTracs eliminate axle rotation AND improve traction, especially on hard acceleration.
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.
Johnny Calvert's father and the owner of Calvert Racing, John Calvert, is often credited with reigniting interest om Stock Racing after his 2009 win at Winternationals Stock Eliminator Class, driving Brent Hajeck's 2008 Cobra Jet with paint tribute to Al Joniac and Rice Holman.
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).
