Rear Traction Bar

is a set of rear traction bars worth it? its an easy install and they are cheap but i was wondering if that actually impove traction? i just need a little more kick off the line instead of just sitting there spinning. otherwise if it isn't worth it, what are some other mods that are going to improve traction and handleing for about the same amount of money and ease of install. thanks!

Traction bars are for leaf spring rears.

Yep, he's right. On a 91 you will need LCA's and probably a Torque arm

if you're getting wheel hop, you'll want relocation brackets.


most of the time, wheelhop on these cars is due to the LCA angle.
relocation brackets fix the angle, allowing the weight of the car to push down on the tires instead of lifting them up.
