IMHO. Traction bars are great for all around. Cal tracs are geared toward those looking to get the most out of their track setup. So basically opposite of what your sayin

Thats the same thing I've seen. I was hoping someone had tested both on the same truck but seeing as how nobody has felt the need to swap from one to the other I would have to conclude that both work sufficiently.
I've ridden in both and swapped from one to another. It's all personal preference and what you want to do with the truck. The fact I'd have to adjust cal tracs to my liking all the time would bug me but traction bars don't work as great at the track. It's give and take
Please some body help me make up my mind. My truck is lifted on 36" tires, it is now on the the bump stops in the front T-bolts are backed all the way out (I want keys that will be in the middle of adjustment at this height) shaft angles are very close to flat. The rear has 4" blocks and now sits higher than the front so planning on swapping the 4" blocks for 2" and adding either Caltracs or traction bars... Truck is a daily driver often towing heavy and a weekend strip pounder.
I am experiencing a good amount of wheel hop since changing from 37" Nitto Terra Grapplers to 36" Cooper AT-3's obviously the Coopers are hooking much better.
At this point I am thinking Caltracs but still can't make up my mind...

How serious are you with the drag racing.. For huge tires I'd rather have long bars. But I've never seen cal tracs on a lifted truck

I don't think Caltracs work with lift blocks? I'm with Corbin, unless its a strict race truck I would run long bars.
I've got a lift and caltracs, pretty sure you just need the mounting plate with the extra hole. That's all I did, fortunately James had a set he was willing to sell me.
I do not use a block for the rear lift solution, rather a 2" add'a'leaf, doubt it matters
The caltracs absolutely work and work well on aaa"moderately" lifted truck. Personally I would NEVER choose long bars over caltracs for a street rig if caltracs were an option, they're too versitle

I agree, long bars are the way to go. I have them in my LB7 and they are great, a tad noisy but thats understandable. Check out Dustin's from diesel addiction, he has them made, well made and resonably priced...
The ones I make are not noisey at all. It is telling joint design that make the noise. I only use Currie Johnny joints.
