Just got out and tested them out some. I can tell a HUGE difference. When I used to get on it the back end felt like it was jumping around. Now when I romp on it just sits the whole truck back, you can really feel it. You guys weren't lying when you said these things were great.

they were defently worth it, i dont get the slip yoke clunk and more and my rearend dosent bounce all over the place like it used to, plus knowing they prevent axle wrap keeps peace at mind.. it seemd to help my open diff bite a little better too, its easyer to transfer the power to the other wheel if i need to.

After testing them out some more I think they do effect your flex. But not by much, maybe a few inches.
I've been looking at pics of my truck and you can see a small difference between the before tracs bars pics and the afters. It's not limiting the amount of up travel, but it is limiting the off ground tire from falling as much. You can see the difference by looking at the shackles.
Both are with the tire off the ground.
No trac bars. You can see that the shackle is angled more towards the front of the truck.
Trac bars. Shackle is more straight up and down, not letting the tire fall as far.
But in all the on road manners it gives the truck outweigh those few inches of travel I'm losing. Right now anyways.

A bracket is mounted on the spring plate using the existing U bolt for securement, another bracket is bolted to the front spring hanger via new drilled holes. A bar goes between both brackets, thus creating less wheel hop and axle/spring 'twist'.
Mine have been on and off and on and off because of lifts, or axle swaps, etc....and i notice a huge difference every time i put them back on. When they are off, I can't even tell if i'm spinning the tires around a corner..they spin so easy. After the install.....sure there's some hop still...but not much. The only hop that's there is because i'm a manual and the torque i'm putting to the rear.

why the upside down shocks?
