I have a set of the early thunderbird traction bars that mount from the rear end bolts to the frame. I also have a set of ladder bars about the same length. I'm thinking that the regular traction bars would be better on the street. Any comments or opinions?
Y's guys rule! Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

Guys, given what you can't do, about the only option you have left is the old trick of adding clamps the the front half of the leaf spring to make it more rigid. This makes it act somewhat like a ladder bar, reducing spring wrap which is what causes wheel hop.. Google "MOPAR superstock leaf springs" and you can read how it is done.. Also shocks are a big part of wheel hop problems.. You need a lot of compression damping and less rebound damping. If I get a chance I can take a picture of how I set up my 56 Mecury with the clamped leafs.
