Traction Bars

69GWC · Oct 22, 2017

So has anyone put traction bars on there 1500s or does anyone make any for them ?
Since I installed my TTC-1211S or my topper not sure which one caused it but my truck wheel hops pretty bad now.
Even at a 15 mph punch instead of just spinning the tires it hops pretty good let alone from a dead stop, does not do it all the time but more then I would like.
Getting ready to order a Hellwig sway bar and doubt it helps any but am hoping it wont make it worse..lol
Just thought a stiffer rear end would help rather then hurt.

Thought I would see if someone knew of something that would help, traction bars, or poly bushing ? or better control arms ?

Following, since I put the TTC-1223 on it does the same thing, and I’m about to add a topper too

Curious about that too, I have the hellwig swaybar (middle position) and it didn't change the wheel hop.

Ha well atleast I am not alone on this.
It did not do this when it was stock so I really figure its the stiffer springs but I would have thought stiffer springs would have help and not hurt so I am alittle cornfused on it.

You need a set of relocation brackets from Illicit.

Im guessing the truck doesnt transfer the weight like it did cause its too stiff and is causing the wheel hop. Not so sure the brackets will work since they were designed for lowered trucks. there might not be a fix for this one other than adding weight which kinda kills the purpose of the springs

My opinion, I would put the stock springs back on and get air bags. You'll maintain the factory ride quality and benefit from the added load leveling.

I have air bags as well, not going to take out my heavy springs though finally got this truck to feel like a truck.
If nobody makes anything I will just deal with it I guess, shoot when I get bigger tires it might not spin them much anyway..lol

I agree with 69 I’m not pulling my springs out because I Tow, and when I do it helps immensely.
