Re: Traction bars
Love the white idea; kind of matches the theme when guys painted their undercarriage white.

Re: Traction bars
You know, I've been thinking about traction aids alot lately, and it struck me that it wouldn't be terribly difficult to make an old set of ladder bars work like Cal Tracs: all they lack is a pivot point at the rear. You wouldn't be able to preload them like Cal Tracs, but that's probably a solvable problem...

Re: Traction bars
Cal Tracs are such a great piece. A local guy has a 8.5 tire Nova that runs low 8's on a mono leaf suspension.
A few people do not like them though because they won't follow instructions and tune them properly. A guy brought me a Challenger that was leaving hard left. After inspecting the Cal Tracs, he had them so far out of adjustment it was awful. Going back to slightly off neutral made the car run on a string.

It could be neat for someone who digs old school ladder bars.
