Bad wheel hop...traction bars, deavers, or ? Please help!

[Jason Kerbs]

I have a 13 with Roush SC and have bad wheel hop when taking off WOT. I've read that deavers will correct some of the problem. I ran across Rogue Racing traction bars but can't seem to be able to reach Rogue. Does anyone know if they are still in business? I plan to eventually get deavers anyway, so maybe I should start there. Thoughts or feedback on personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Stay away from Rogue, rumor's are they will take your money and delay shipping for many reasons, been reported on here lots lately (last couple years). Deavers will help, if you are into drag racing and need the hard launch, you better upgrade your driveshaft while you are at it.

Thanks for the warning about Rogue. I had run across a post about the same thing. I would only buy from them if I could purchase right from their shop and walk out with parts in hand. I plan to order a new driveshaft as well. I've only seen one through JDM. You have any recommendations?

I made a thread many years ago, The Axle Exchange Company is where JDM gets them from, you can buy direct or through JDM
I highly recommend them, there have been post on here from SC Raptors that broke their upgraded driveshafts from other shops, so buyer be aware!!!

I have the Rogue Traction bars, solved all the wheel hop issues.
And you can go off-roading with them just like the torque arm from KHC.
Now, I don't know what going on with the member that's bashing Rogue but I had good experience with them.
The Traction Bars are made to order so it may take a few weeks before you receive them.
Even when the powder coating failed they sent me a new set and a return label for the old.
But that also didn't last more than two NYC winters.
I just sanded them down myself and painted them with Rustoleum Epoxy Enamel, it lasts a little longer.
The rust from the springs drip right on the traction bars compromising any finish you put on them.
So you have to keep the springs well oiled with a wire rope Lubricant!!!

One other side note,
I believe they now ask and recommend that you to have them powder from a shop where you live, they will know the right powder coat to use in your environment.

There are many threads on here about Rogue, you can look for yourself, I'm just passing the info on for any buyers to beware. They were great at the beginning, but changed their ways........

I can still get wheel hop on certain surfaces even with the deavers, and my truck is not sc'ed. granted its 1000x better than stock leafs were. I'm sure being sc'ed you'll want traction bars. I would still do deavers for the HUGE ride quality improvement.

I’m running Deavers and they almost completely eliminated my wheel hop. Good luck with yours.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! Since I can't reach Rogue, I'll be picking up a set of SVC traction bars and some deavers. Still haven't decided on +2 or +3. Either way, I'm sure I'll be much happier. Thanks again!

Ok, I'll keep a lookout for those posts.

Just a heads up, I have the HD Deavers +2 had them on before getting traction bars,
the HDs are to stiff for street driving, IMHO but if you're going to tow then get them otherwise get the SD.
If something happens to my rear springs I will be going back to SDs.

I don't know about those Traction bars from SVC.
The way they are you may have to remove them for Off-Roading.
I believe I read that on here.
Where as the Rogue Racing ones allow full articulation of the rear axle.
There's a price difference for a reason!
