The increased arch of new springs will also nearly eliminate wheel hop. Traction bars are a waste in my opinion. Have had them on several trucks and have had several problems with them and bolts working the self loose . Just a good set of springs is money better spent. If you need traction bars your suspension is not set up properly. They might not limit travel but they might limit articulation.

They eliminated all wheel hop both on and off. It wasn't as bad offroad as it was on road.

So the suspension is set up wrong from the factory?

Again a proper set of traction bars will not affect articulation! How can you even say that after the pictures I posted? Show me some evidence that it does not your "feelings" or try to justify you spring purchase.

For what I did with my truck I didn't need new springs nor did I need heavier shocks, not everyone is a desert racer LOL

I own a 2013 FX2, I have installed a 2.5" ReadyLIFT leveling kit as well as 1.25" 4X4 blocks in the rear with 33"s.

I have found that i get very bad axle wrap and wheel hop so id like to install some traction bars.

The only bars i have found that are made for the 09+ F-150 are the JLPRacing bars and Rize.

Im concerned that the JLPRacing bars around long enough and will cause bending in the suspension when flexed, the Rize bars are just so big for my not so lifted truck.

Being as the Raptors have much more suspension travel than my truck i figured that a bar designed for it would work perfect for my truck. Do they make any?

Procomp. How soon do you need them I have a set new I may be willing to part with. I just ordered new leaf springs if they cure the problem I will no longer need the procomp bars.

I installed new rear leafs about a month ago and it cured it. Truck performs amazing now on and off road.
