Who sells traction bars and how do I know which ones to get? Do they make a difference?

Lakewood makes old style slapper bars for cheap. Also check Compitition Engineering and Cal-trac. Both of thess are nicer and tend to work better than slapper bars. This difference is definatly reflected in the price.

Adam - If you decide not to take afi360 up on his offer, you can get lakewoods from SummitRacing.com, and you can get Cal-Tracs from krcperformance.com.
You might consider the Lakewood Heavy Duty, they are 2 inches longer than the standards, which fit our trucks better, and they are only 65$ from summit.

Went to autozone and picked up a pair of chrome lakewood bars for $30. Had to put a piece of 3/4" square tubing in between the back bracket and the spring to shim it to fit right.

Why are the cal-tracs from KRC $300. Are the cheap ones cheap for a reason??

If they're the ones I've seen for $300 I believe that those are super heavy duty. Like for an ass pounding dragster pushing 8's or so in the 1/4. Lot of weight thrown down on those things when your pushin around 800 hp. Don't know if this is true just makes sense to me.

The caltracs and CE bars are very well engineered and fabricated. They are also adjustable. I guess in this case you get what you pay for?

$30 is what I paid for mine and they get the job done for me:) They say universal fit ( the lakewood bars ) but they're not. A little shimming and they do fit right.
