Traction bars/ flip kit?

[Cheyenne350]

Hello to all. Is adding traction bars another way like a flip kit? Reason I ask is because I'm considering traction bars in my 1978 short bed since I'm doing a LS1 swap and I don't want any wheel hop or warp the diff.. Leaf springs going under the diff made me think that it might be similar or I could be wrong. Any help would be appreciated thanks in advanced!

I have a friend that did an LS swap and already had a flip kit. He still had to add traction bars.

Thanks for the reply. Yea I was thinking the same thing, donyou think just by adding the traction bars the truck will lower a bit?

I do not know the answer to that. Sorry

The truck will not lower at all by adding traction bars....

Calvert racing makes a really nice set of traction bars for our trucks that have had the rear axle flipped over the springs. Here's a link to their site.

Traction bars and a flip kit are completely different and do radically different things. Flip kits don't give you traction, traction bars don't alter the ride height at all.
