    You may be confusing ladder bars with traction bars. Ladder bars would be a complete suspension system which would replace your leaf springs. All I've ever used with leafs is something like the Lakewood bars that bolt on. I have seen and heard a lot of good things from some of the other fellows who have run Caltrac bars. I've never used them, so don't have an opinion.

    I wouldn't do that pedal to the metal routine any more until I got some sort of anti-wrap device installed or it's gonna get costly breakin' stuff.
