Default Re: Leaf spring traction bars

Definitely use the leaf clamps first, start with one on each side in front of the wheels. Add as necessary. If you buy the Mr.Gasket set, make sure you have a grinding wheel to shorten them - they indeed hit the frame rail upon launch. Also, the Mr.Gasket set has bolts with too long of a shoulder, and therefore you will need to purchase shorter bolts or at least bolts without a shoulder. With this much work it may be better to follow Rob's advice and make a set.

They definitely work, I raised my launch RPM from a 1000rpm idle launch to approx. 2000prm launch with no wheel hop and minimal tire spin.
