      Can I get an opinion on these...

      The goal is to keep wheel hop to a minimum. My car probably won't see a track, so I'll just be for "recreational" use......which means the occasional burn out, etc. Do you think this is a good alternative to slide-a-links and the like? Thanks in advance.

      They pretty much look like an exact copy of Cal-tracks to me. Not quite as robust, but may be fine though.

      What leaf springs are you running? If you use one that is biased towards the front, you may not need a traction bar at all.

      I used Hotchkis springs on my '68, and even when running drag radials, it didn't wheel hop.

      Those are a copy of the cal-trac! Which is a very good design! looks like they should work fine and will eliminate your wheel hop! If I remember correctly the caltracs are a little more adjustable!

      I have DSE's 3" drop multi's on the back. Don't know if they are biased or not.

      I think those are. If the leafs extend towards the front, moreso then the rear, they're biased and will help prevent axle wrap up.

      I'd try them as is before going to the traction bar.

      They are like that. I will try it first. Thanks Mark.
