    Took MS advice and

     took out the mid eye 4.5 springs with the 1" lower blocks and the traction bars. Added 4.5 reverse eye 1.5" lower Grab a Trak springs. Rides a lot nicer and no clunking noise when going over bumps. It also took care of the vibration I had in 5th gear while coasting for the last 10 years. It sits a little higher than I like but Ill take the nice ride. Did a burn out and only a little wheel hop. So Im happy!  Thanks for the Help MS

    My pleasure!  It will probably settle in a little bit as the leafs slip and slide against each other. I have 1/2” lowering blocks on mine to get it as low as I wanted it.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Thanks!  Its a surprise how much less banging around noise over bumps I had by just removing those traction bars.
