What tires are you currently running, auto or stick & what HP are you at??
He is running "M&H Racemaster DOT Drag Radials", it's an automatic, and the horsepower isn't nearly as impressive as the torque.

Ladder bars are better than traction bars.

Truck looks good man!
Thanks to you all for your input so far. I have read and searched the things you recommended with the bars being the thing I missed.
I currently run CalTracs on the truck. They seem to help.

Current hp is a bit over 700 if you do the trap speed calculators, and Tq is unknown at this time. I will estimate it to be 1250+ ft#s. the truck weighs 7300# at the track with me in it.
The Rogue wheels look like they may do the trick. Those tires you mentioned, 394/40R17, are 3" wider than what I am currently running. That is a bunch.
I talked to a guy running a truck sort of like mine and I may need to launch harder. More boost before letting things go. So much to learn and so many things to try. Why do I have to work?
Let me know what you were talking about on the bars. I have dropped the rear end by having custom shackles built. That got it down about 1.75" and took most of the heaviest spring out. It is still there as a spacer.

If 700 hp ain't impressive, you might be a fighter jet pilot.

Pro comps are traction bars, not ladder bars with the pivoting front mount.
But when I posted that I didn't realize he had the Caltracs.
I was looking at bolt on ladder bars I thaught ,are lateral bars still traction bars or ladder bars? The ones I looked at were triangular and about 36-48" long.I will try and find them again.
These aren't the exact ones, but something similar is one one going to go with.

The difference between a ladder bar and traction bar is that a traction bar is mainly to prevent axle movement forwards and backwards along with some twisting.
Ladder bars have a pivoting front mount which allows the axle full range of movement front and back but prevents axle wrap.
You'll probably be able to find a much better explanation than mine on some of the diesel sites.
Look at the difference between these and the glacier bars I posted earlier.

I think those were the ones I was referring too but I thaught they were ladder bars and they bolted under the rear leaf with no pivot:dontknow: The pic the guy showed me were different that found them for just under $600 and the were bolt on and you could weld on also.
I just found a set the are triangular and the rear part of the bars go above and below the axel which would be better for lowered application,I will try and post pics shortly.

I posted that sarcastically, because other than the HP, people were asking you for information you had already provided.
As for not being impressed with 700hp, you don't need to be a fighter jet pilot, just and SRT10 owner.
How much boost did you say you were running?
