Skyl3r's Build

[skyl3r]

I forgot to post about my new rear...In my raptor boys . Finally got it fixed. Apparently I smashed my spring mounts so the axle was actually tilting back and forth with the torque etc. I got a new rear, new spring mounts and custom traction bars that turned out really nice the truck actually rides better and there is no more sloppy rear end

To monitor my IATs G-force motorsports installed an aeroforce gauge. It's really cool. Here is my higher temps after doing crazy donuts in the heat. Usually temps are same as outside air temp

I'd like to know more about those traction bars!!!!!

Are they solid with adjusting ends? Almost looks like there pneumatic.

@MTF They are not pneumatic, but I agree that they look like it. Yes they are adjustable and removable. So if I want to go off-road and clearance could be an issue (which I doubt, they do not hang lower than my diff). The guy that custom built them for me, did it so that I could burnout without 13k in damages again. They work flawlessly and I have NO wheelhop, even on the street, drag strip etc. I also jumped the truck yesterday and did multiple donuts with no issues from the traction bars. They are similar to caltrax, but I wanted them custom and this guy has 20+ years of offroad custom builds. I am really happy with them!!

Thanks for the info, if my custom Deavers springs don't do the trick.
I may have to go this route.

Here is the Dirt Pit Video I promised from Monday, first time off-road with the Whipple. Watching temps and playing around.

Like the video, it shows that you don't need much throttle to play in the dirt when Supercharged.
