You need to soften the rear suspension. When it is stiff the tire has to do all the
work, once it begins to spin , it cant recover. If you can not afford new springs,
remove some leaves from your existing springs. 2-3 leaves is all you need when
using a traction bar. I would suggest using 1 clamp on the front segment only.
Also as stated the shocks are very important, get a good set of adjustable rear
shocks. Make sure the front end is not binding, you want it as loose as you can
get it and use the front shocks to control it. This may not provide a complete
cure for your problem, but are steps in the right direction.
