Tires are fairly well balanced as we’ve checked a couple times. Would traction bars work at a leveled height? It seems ridiculous looking at that height but like a old muscle car there is kinda no alternative other than new spring packs really? I’d be interested to see if anyone suffers the same highway vibrations and generally sloppy axle rotation on a relatively good shape f150 and if this has stabilized it some.

    No intention to be antagonistic but m seeing real negative using them. The need is because of the lift or high lift, but the traction bars negate your clearance on the axles as well as the underside. Definitely cool looking I'll give you that. For racing its moot but out on the rocks the lost clearance can be a real problem leaving you stranded. Wouldn't the proper leaf springs to get rid of lift block while asl ridding you of the clearance issues with traction bars be a better choice? Am I getting this right?

    No. Leafsprings and a four link is not leafsprings and a 'trac bar' . Leafsprings and trac bars use 1 shackle in stock location. Four link with leafsprings adds another shackle to the front of the leaf spring and is very rarely done. Usually four links themselves have coil or coilover springs and do not include the use of leafsprings.
