Traction issues

You said your old tires gave up. Were they doing the same thing as the new ones? On a ladder bar, you can't change the length of the bar, so technically, it hits the same, what you can change is the lift point, relative to the nuetral line. If your truck was mine, I would have the lower bar parallel to the ground or slightly pointing down. The best way to see how it is hitting the tire is have someone vidio the truck with a good look at the rear tire. If they use a digital camera and you can play it frame by frame, you can learn a lot. On the truck that I had, I ran the shocks full soft, with the long wheelbase that it had, it needed the help for pitch rotation. That truck would go down a dirt road and it would go red on a pro tree
