Torsion bar and lca's

Every one says that lca's help you get better traction. I was wondering about the torsion bar wouldn't that help a lot too? I mean as the tires spin foward the differential case wants to spin in the opposite direction and since the torsion bar is connected to the case it pushes up, and i thought that would push the front of the car up which would help the back of the car squat. Can someone explain how the lca's improve traction and answer whether or not i am right about the torsion bar, and which would provide a greater increase in traction. I appreciate it.

Torsion bar = torque arm?

Yes an aftermarket torque arm helps a lot too, but they're a lot more expensive than LCA's.

Put on some LCA relocation brackets. You'll love 'em. Lots of traction, better handling and no wheel hop. Best bang for the buck.
