Quick question about your Caltracs, I'm presuming you're using the low pro option. It looks like in one of your videos that the leaf spring brackets on the 9" are different from Caltracs one that came with their kit. Did you bolt up the Caltrac one that was trimmed under the DSE leaf spring bracket. Reason I ask is I have the DSE leaf brackets and want to add the caltracs to my leafs for better hookup. Tks & keep posting some updates along the way.

Thank you 😊

Yes, low profile Caltracs are what I’m running. The front brackets are as delivered from Caltracs, the rears, I cut / modified to work in conjunction with the DSE plates. I’ll PM you pictures if you would like

Very nice! Thanks for sharing the pics and the details. Glad you're putting the miles on it. Hope you enjoy them all.

Jason, thanks send away. I have a feeling my LS transplant from last Nov. is gonna need some traction help.

Here is what I did. Just cut the shock mount portion of the Caltracs brackets, and trimmed them to fit inside the DSE plates. Very simple modification, works just fine and has been like this about 2 years now. The only thing I don’t like about the bars, is the rattle they can create. The slop in the heims and the front bracket annoys me when I’m on rough road. It’s not bad enough to remove them though. lol

Here's a possible cure for the rattling taken directly from the Caltrac website.

Thank you. I actually just did that yesterday. Haha

Here are a few pictures that I thought were cool next to each other.
