Traction bars on a zf6

[BSdiesel472]

Been looking around and couldn't really find anything on here, but what are the cons of traction bars on a manual? Been hearing people complain about shifting issues, jus wanna be sure before I do it. Would ajustable preload be able to fix this issue?

I had zero issues running long bars on my crew cab zf6.. Had a dual disc too

Never had long bars but caltracs work well with a manual also, but they don't help the reverse axle wrap.

I dont know if it matters but it's a reg cab long bed 2wd 6 speed. Jus never put them on a manual before and didn't want to regret it. Lookin at like 6 and a half footers heims and ajustable on both ends

You'll be fine.. But if your actually wanting traction from installing them then you need to put caltracs on.

2wd or 4wd?

Didn't know if your setting up that 2wd for racing or anything.

The crew cab is 4wd. Eventually the reg cab will... Not be a street truck anymore either lol. I'm jus not too firmiluar with caltracts

CalTracs actually put the power to the ground and trac bars make it easy to burn out. CalTracs are also cheaper unless building bars yourself.

I build them myself

Must of scrapped the Duraflite already and went ZF6... Hows that 1500hp treating that 6 speed? Most guys with 1500 hp on tap are well beyond axle wrap bars.
