As a NBS owner I feel that aftermarket suspension market has produced very little bolt on products for NBS compared to OBS Trucks. Weather its Tubular Control Arms, Triangular/4-link, or coilover conversion there are way more for OBS, C-10s, and S-10s than NBS Trucks.
@@calvinjames7302 what flip kit are you running? My issue was the bolt holes, compared to to the belltech plate holes, were a little off. But off by enough to slightly move axle position if I remember correctly.
Hello love what you did to the truck. When you removed the overload spring how did truck ride and about how much drop did you get. You also said a 3/8 bolt correct. Thnx so much
I'm not crazy about the angle of the bars. I basically have the same truck, my bars are not parallel with the ground, they're at an angle. Looks like yours are the same way. They did however get rid of my wheel hop also, so I guess I can't complain lol.
I see on their website fits trucks with 2” rear lift Think a 3” rear block lift would work? Seems you had a lot of adjustment in your kit that’s why I was trying wondering
These aren't much better than the $100 axle slappers you can get. I like that there's no binding but on a truck that's not going to see off road it's not an issue and I've used axle slappers on my truck with 14 inches of travel in the rear and honestly worked okay. It stopped the wheel hop and only limited articulation by 1 in. But I lost 2 in of droop. I've got a Dana 80 full float going in right now and I don't want to use the axle slappers anymore so I'm looking for a new setup. I'm also installing hydraulic bump stops and the brackets for full airbag. I don't remember the part number but it's a Peterbilt airbag rated at 14 inches of wheel travel. It's for 18 wheelers but I've got the space under there. Working range is 9 in. So I think with the limiting straps and bump stops it should work okay. If not it's back to the drawing board. And I haven't decided if I'm going to swing arm or four link. With the swing arm I wouldn't have to worry as much about the suspension geometry. But then I have to run some sort of Johnny joint in the back to keep the axle center. I've done a lot of custom suspension work for 18 wheelers. And go karts. But both of those are completely different from a long travel truck setup. Daily driver at that. For now I'm just going to run a single ladder bar and leaf springs. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to get some adjustable shocks in the rear because that Dana 80 is massive. It's like 750 lb. The old axle was 250. And trust me I wanted to use a Dana 60 but the Dana 80 was free. I know it's going to slow down the truck a lot but the factory Chevy 8.5 with chromoly axles and chromoly pinion chromoly everything well I split the case. I'm not even running massive horsepower just like 450. It's a 390 small block. But 4,000 RPM clutch drops around the corner through the dirt. I guess them little toothpicks just can't handle it. And it's a six puck carbon ceramic clutch. No springs. I need to start uploading videos of it and call it the trailer trash Baja buggy. Or broke a$$ buggy. If somebody has a good name for a build that's nothing but free parts. I refuse to spend any money on it. Mainly because I have no money. But I have knowledge a welder and people that like to give me free s***. My wheels and tires are coming off my dad's 06 f250. The solid axle conversion for the front is coming off a f450 the springs are coming off of a 01 Cummins 4x4. So it will be a Dodge Ford Chevy. I may put air ride front and rear cuz I can get the airbags for free. We'll see on that.
These work really well, and didn't require me to shift the tank over to get the leaf spring bolt out again. So, little easier install for our application, and price was a little ,more affordable. Heard nothing good about CalTracs too, but these work well, and no more wheel hop at all!
The only thing “better” about these are the price tag…but you get what you pay for! These are a wheel hop cure due to pinion angle ONLY, no added traction. CalTracs stop all wheel hop as well, with the added benefit of actually putting downforce on the spring and hence the tire via their pivot arm/roller 👍🏼
Hey sweet install love your channel. I really want to put a set of these on my obs truck, any chance you could let me know if they will fit length wise? Thank you!

Definitely getting these when I’m back up and running
Hey keep up the good work work I watch all your videos
I love my speed bars. They caused me issues with my flip kit but still worked well once sorted
What type of issues did they cause? I'm currently running a flip kit on my NNBS Procharged Denali. Haven't had any wheelhop issues, nor do I dig race.

Hello love what you did to the truck. When you removed the overload spring how did truck ride and about how much drop did you get. You also said a 3/8 bolt correct. Thnx so much
What size (length) of you bolts did you use? Can you drop down the links for all the parts.
Will these work on a lifted 4+4? I want to run traction bars but the off-road ones take away from your ride height and can get hung up on rocks etc
Great video :)
Do you recommend putting the bolts on the bottle hole or the top hole ?

What is the part number for the traction bars?
Do they make this kit for 88-98 modle obs trucks?
😎😎😎
What’s that’s part number I have the same year truck but with the flip kit? Thanks
when drilling the leaf, what type of bit did you use? and is it necessary in keeping the bars in place?
We didn't end up drilling the leaf, and they seem to stay in place just fine.
How much you charge too swap Ls in 99 Tahoe? Thanks
The production quality so high to bad they don’t upload frequently
How did traction feel after the install was there a noticeable difference in traction? Or mainly just wheel hop delete
Mainly got rid of wheel hop. Hard to tell the traction difference, since the motor just spun the tires pretty easily anyways. lol
I see on their website fits trucks with 2” rear lift
Think a 3” rear block lift would work?
Seems you had a lot of adjustment in your kit that’s why I was trying wondering
Did you ever get this figured out?
Is this the same truck with the lowering leaf springs? It looked stock in the video.
Yes, same truck. We ended up removing the drop leafs since they didn't;t ride that well. Went back to a stock leaf with drop hangers and a shackle.
Do u have this for 2016 ram
Link to those bars?
how did the truck ride when you removed the overload spring
I removed mine, she's a little mushy.
Mine rides great

Is this truck for sale?
Would you suggest these over caltracs?

Look like some knock off cheap version of cal tracks
You guys are way way to expensive.to install this kind of staff
Quality work does cost more, but we never mentioned how much we charge to install, so not sure why you assume we are expensive.
Will these fit an obs too?
They might but haven't tried it.
You should do more OBS videos 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hey sweet install love your channel. I really want to put a set of these on my obs truck, any chance you could let me know if they will fit length wise? Thank you!
Is this truck for sale?
It isn't. It actually has been sold before we could even post it up.
