Well this magic bar is not helping to much granted it helped a bit but still wraps and hops like a bunny

I have loaded it both ways up and down and it still wraps. I have not to load it really hard but I have a feeling this is just what it is and it will still wrap.

It wrapped with the stock steel leafs and now wraps little less with the flex form leafs

plz say I have to load this bar a alot to stop it from wrapping

Something must be wrong if it’s hopping still I have the urd traction bar and have not had any issue with a slight preload in the bar.

Can't really mess it up. If you have stiff side walls and sticky tires it hops even more in the rain. What way are you guys loading the bar up or down

My friend also has some hop with the urd trac bars with slicks on the drag strip. Didn’t have much time to mess with it that night.

The bar should push up on the forward mount.

Tried that Frist making the most sense still wrapped tried the other way still wraps.

I may try loading it alot this time around.. If it doesn't work out I may try neutral. And if that doesn't work all add in shackle style end or something. Or just call bud built.

I have built many off road track bars as ll shackle and they worked great

If the traction bar is installed correctly the only way the axle can wrap or twist in the leaf springs is if something breaks.

If you are getting some wheel hop you will need a better shock to calm that down.

G brings up a great point. It may be that you need either a better shock or your current ones are blown or not working correctly anymore. I have qa1’s and it they are all the way soft there can be some slight hop but if I turn them up past 6ish then I get no hop at all.

QA 1 adjustable shocks in the back for a couple hundred bucks will help a lot + some drag radials with 20 - 25 PSI.
Good luck!
