Eventually thinking about getting both right now i just have 295 45 18 nt05 wanting to get the 305 nt05R or 555r or some traction bars dont know which ones though
Traction bars or drag radials?
- Thread starter SVT BLACKOUT
- Start date
dr's without long bars car create some seriouos issues, especially at the track.
That said, the 555's will not hook as well as the nt05r's, but will last 15k miles. You'll be lucky to get 5k out of the nt05r's.
How much power are you making?

I have the 295/45/18 NT05's and pulled some 1.82's. I stalled up to about 2k and they would dead hood.
I havent installed my traction bars yet but I have strange drag shocks in the rear with Hotchkis leaf springs and had zero issues.

This. You really need both.
Without traction bars your rear end is experiencing wrap. Just because you don't feel it doesn't mean it's not occurring. Drag radials are only going to further complicate the issue. Do a search on youtube someone posted some gopro videos of their rear end under normal driving conditions with no traction bars

Wow, i've never seen those videos. Very nice.
Have those been compared to JLP's 54" long bars? It's what i have and besides ground clearance, i have zero complaints.

Wow those vids are like night and day haha need some for sure what bars should i get?
Stifflers, JLP, JDM. Listed in order of probability of having them in stock.
Which are the best for my 99 L
Stifflers, JLP or JDM.
I NOTICED THAT THE LONG BARS ARE MORE NOTICABLE DO THEY WORK BETTER BECAUSE I LIVE WHERE THERE IS ALOT OF LIGHTNINGS AND I DONT WANT THEM TO COPY ME :burnout::beer:
No need to worry about them copying you. Anyone who races should already have them on their truck. Definitely need Traction Bars if you are going to go on the track with DR"s. Also a Driveshaft Loop is a necessity.:thumbsup:
If you dont "copy" them, you will be unique because you can show them guys what a broken drive shaft, torn up gas tank, muffler etc looks like.
wheel hop is the devil. Way more than that there fools ball bobby!

I really like the Metco bars. I'm hoping I can get them to make a set for the SVTP F-350.
I have the Metco on my truck and really like them
Best thing on the market right now IMO.
Ford Lightning & Harley Davidson Long Bar System 1999-2004
Or if your feeling froggy you can buy their whole kit. It includes the bars, a chassis stiffening x-brace and a driveshaft loop.
