I trying to convince myself I don't NEED the KHC traction bar. I am not doing a very good job so far.

I was ok with stock power levels but after the intercooler and tune, 1st gear spins with anything over half throttle. I hope the traction bars will change that and give me better traction in the rain too.

I’ve got a good bit of sand to play with on my property and it is SUPER easy to get the stock suspension wrapped up in sand with some pretty violent wheel hop. I run the KHC torque arm and I can stomp the throttle repeatedly in loose sand and the truck just stays straight, drives forward and throws rooster tails.

You are being kind! In sand, it's damn near impossible to drive in 2wd without wheel hopping so bad you almost turn the rear end into a mid-travel setup coming thru the bed.

I’ve got the KHC torque arm and I like how I don’t lose any ground clearance. Don’t have any experience with any other traction bars to compare to but I’m satisfied with it and I like the extra diff skid plate that integrates into the kit

I have a set of the RPG traction bars and they work great, I also have a set of deavers and the 3.0 live valve. Te traction bars are a big help. They installed them and the fitment seems ok. I got about 15K on them

You have some pics? Have you noticed any knocking noise/feel when these engage under heavy acceleration?

I just did a E-50 goosetune. And even with deavers a 2k rpm launch spins all 4 tires and has some axle wrap. I’m leaning towards the SVC kit.
