Love your presentations brah. Easy to watch and listen to.
Thanks buddy!
Nice vids keep it up!
Good video, thanks
This is great I feel like the rear end is wrapping up on my 2012
Thanks. Didn’t know this is how they worked!
Traction bars are a must...axle wrapping is a pain when towing keeps tires planted... great choice on bars....
Thanks man!
Well said👏
Another great video
Thanks Arne
Glad I found your videos. Good stuff! Have you ever had "dead petal" issues? Have a Banks SixGun tuner...comes up as "boost in low range", not sure of the code #.
Are the ones on the front also traction bars or are they something else
I've got a one ton long box but no lift kit. Would that be a good mod?
you think it could stop or lessen frame flex in the Ford F 350's you get at certain speeds?
I’m buying my first diseal truck….03 cummins and the guy im buying from installed a 6 inch zone lift and i doubt he put traction bars on. What should i use?
Cool video.
What's written on your hat?
How long are the bars.
Thank u for the video. What size is your rimscand tires ?
37x13.5 tires on 20x12-44 wheels
Dark Iron so would these help even on the gen4 Ram with the rear coils?
Hmmm... I don’t think so but I could be wrong. I’m pretty sure the coil system has its own control arms which would hold it in place kind of like trac bars.
Now would these make it okay to delete my overloads? I always reverse level my trucks but run airbags. I don't take the overloads out. Tons of axle wrap without the overloads but with the traction bars will the overloads even do anything? Never had the chance to run traction bars so I've never been able to test them.
Well I’d think you should still run your overloads if you are hauling heavy. All the traction bars do is keep your axle from rotating, it doesn’t stiffen your rear suspension.
@@darkirondiesel never more than 30k gross on my 04.5 😅 I'd be curious to test the setups but for the effort and time it would take I'm not sure it'd be worth it for the small amount of views I get. I'll throw this one on the back burner until next year😂
Well just looking at your 10 most recent videos it looks like you're getting more views then I am! I can't believe my corvette video didn't even get 100 views, but hey that's just how the algorithms work i guess...
@@darkirondiesel my last two from Thursday and Saturday sucked🤦♂️ RUclips gave me that "this video less people are watching and the people who are aren't watching as long as usual" like gee thanks I can see that. Algorithm is weird. I'm working my way through the rest of yours on my free time. Even if I know how to do the things in the video it's still more entertaining than a lot of these big "high energy" channels
How are these different than slapper bars on a leaf spring car? Maybe this design is better for ground clearance?
Traction bars, slapper bars, same thing. I think in the car world they are better knows as slapper bars but in truck world traction bars. Same thing either way. They both fix the same problem.
Can I use this set up on my 06 1500 4x4 w a leveling kit? Mainly for looks but I do tow a lot.
Hmm not sure, the axle size would be a bit different I bet.
This gonna help with spinning out while towing? Also are front bars worth it or mainly rear
Yup it should help. The front long arms serve a different purpose. They push the front axle forward so it sits in the proper position with the lift kit. If you get a lift kit without long arms the front axle will actually be a couple inches back from where it’s supposed to sit from factory.
@@darkirondiesel gotcha I have a 2.5 leveling kit so I might get those as well. Thanks for the help
How much do they cost? Recommend a brand?
Wish 5in stray pipe do you recommend for 6.7 2015 dually
I use flo pro exhausts but if you live in the states they are super hard to come by. Any exhaust company is going to preform the same as long as the kit fits nice.
@@darkirondiesel okee_dokee thank you very much, I'll go with flo pro, and yes I'm in the states Miami florida. Shame you to faraway or I take my truck to you for all the upgrades.
@Jake Heke really?wow that's awesome, from turbo or down pipe?
What are the front ones called??
The front ones are your Control Arms. A stock ram truck will have them too, mine just look different because I got longer control arms with my bds lift kit.
Pro tip: use drop shackles and lift springs like you're supposed when rising a solid axel for this problem to never exist in the first place.
It still happens even with that
will they do anything if i have a gasser
Yes the concept is the same. They are just more common on Diesels since diesels typically make more power and therefore have more axle twist. But if you have a juiced up gasser then ya I’d definitely recommend them.
@@darkirondiesel ok thats what i figured, but how much hp and torque would you say is appropriate to use traction bars
@@darkirondiesel and do you think axle wrap would happen more often on a 1500 since the suspension is less beefy?
