Dude. Are you serious? Yes, I have seen them side by side. Unlike you, I actually own, for many years now, a fully built Raptor. So, again, unlike you, I don't need to invoke imaginary friends like Ken Block.
I don't personally know the guys at Valhalla but I know a few guys who have had their trucks worked on there. They don't regularly build trucks with 2' of rear travel at that shop. And trucks with 2' of rear travel do NOT have SVC traction bars on them. They are linked and don't need traction bars. Does Valhalla have their own links, by the way? Don't bother answering that. You wouldn't even know what the question means.
Remind me, does your truck even have traction bars on it?
Rogue makes the superior product and Rogue brought theirs to market many years before SVC did.
my truck cycles 22" and has SVC traction bars on it. sorry that it isn't 2', but its a leaf sprung truck.
I've got about 2500 dirt miles on them.
I've never had any issues with dragging them either, perhaps because of the 40s.
I'd dare to say that the crews that I run with ( Expedition x Offroad and Texas Motorworx) beat trucks and parts harder than pretty much any other groups out there. If you run with EXO or TMX, you run your truck hard. you break stuff, then you fix it. Parts that don't stand up get tossed by the wayside quickly.
I will say this emphatically. SVC Gen2 raptor parts have more collective, hard baja miles on them than any other manufacturer's Gen2 parts out there.
I fix broken and janky stuff as part of my role on the runs. I have yet to see Rogue parts stand up ( outside of the bumpers). In fact the only time Ive seen rogue traction bars on a truck in-person, they were causing so much binding that they were robbing about 3-4 inches of travel out of the truck.
I personally, reward companies that meet deadlines, support their customers and race as part of their R & D.
SVC meets those criteria.
Rogue doesn't come anywhere even close to meeting any of those criteria. and before you go defending rogue, I am one of the "customers" that they screwed over, to the point that Amex had to get the money back for me. They are a cancer on the offroad industry.
If someone sent me a KHC torque arm that fits with a Currie, I'd try it and provide honest feedback, but that is only because I think Dave's stuff is cool and it appears that KHC "does it right". I can also say that unless it did something magically different, I'd go right back to the SVC traction bars when I was done testing.
I don't have a functionality reason to move away from SVC.
So argue all you want, say whatever you want. SVC stuff works. If you know how to drive and pick a line, you won't drag anything.
