[QUOTE="zombiekiller, post: 1335307, member: 25186"] Yes, I had deaver +3s well before the traction bars. I also ran camburg shackles, sdhq extended shackles and now run SVC's shackles. ( which by the way are the only shackles that I've found to not contact the frame at full droop ( even the factory shackles will rub the frame at 2-4" before full droop.) I can say that I still got a fair amount of axle wrap before the traction bars. to the degree that there was a bit of a delay in throttle input to traction. the result of throttle application is now far more immediate and predictable for me now. With traction bars, you really shouldn't try to run extended shackles, as they will cause binding. ( the axle can no longer rotate that far forward due to the bars) That being said, I did not notice any limitation or binding of the rear suspension with the bars installed vs. not installed with the same shackle. The truck will pivot much much better. It will also squat much better. I would not take mine back off again unless I was linking my truck. The easier rotation helps me turn the truck with brake and throttle much easier. The truck squatting a bit more with the traction bars when getting on the gas is a really helpful thing for me. I'm still learning how to read desert terrain properly. The traction bars don't save me from everything, but if my reaction time is a bit slow, or I misread a whoop or washout, putting the power down better and squatting a bit more is a really good thing for me when I need to get the front suspension unloaded to handle something big. When hitting big stuff at 40-50 mph, I can already say that the bars probably saved me from myself numerous times. If you have a ton more driving experience, the benefits might not be as apparent to you, but I've been very pleased with what they provide for me and I think that SVC's pricing is extremely nice for the benefits that I got out of the setup. I can't speak for rogue's kit, as I think most have seen my sentiments on the company. Not saying that their bars don't work, or aren't quality, I just choose to spend my money elsewhere for my own reasons. hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
