I've been looking for traction bars for my 2015. Rough country says there's won't fit. Procomp doesn't seem to make one for this year either. Should I break down and use a universal set that just bolts to the leaf? I saw a thread of people using helper springs set forward to stop axel wrap. I really only noticed it for the first time coming out of a corner last night hit the gas traction control came on and a small thunk as it grabbed. I just got some Billy's for the back will that help? I don't really want to do the helper spring thing as it reported to drop the back and I am looking to put a 1" block in the back seems it would be counter intuitive. I also would like not to spend a crazy amount of money. Fabtech I think it was had a set for like $800 which was a little more than I would like to spend.

Thanks. I do get what you are saying, but it's tough to shell out money on something not knowing if it's going to fit. I don't have anybody to fab or rework parts for a fit. I'm sorry this is my first and could be my only new truck, I'm going to be a little anal. It was hard enough to buy a Titan knowing that this is my second and after market selection blows to say the least. If I would have bought a domestic vehicle or a Toyota I would not have to ask these questions there are literally hundreds of options. I loved my last Titan and I'm sure I'll love this too. I'm just already frustrated with trying to get parts to upgrade this rig. 11 years the Titan body has been the same still can't get a roof rack without drilling.

just in case you want to know. there is a roof rack that you don't need to drill. i saw it in a post on here about a month ago.. i tried to find link but I'm sure you will if you need it that bad

So the traction bars have been on for about a year and are starting to make the more noticeable clunk. I bought some delrin spacers from a member for the front, but I think they only reduce the clunk and not stop it. I looked for a forged poly joint, but the mounts are too narrow. The upgraded heims from prg are only a band-aid and will do the same thing eventually. I am now looking at a del-sphere pivot joint. They only need 1.5625" to work and have 22° of articulation. They will only fit in the front mounts though. Has anybody tried anything like this? Does anybody think that it won't work? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Wish you could get the Metal Worx bars still. Those things are a work of art and by far best ever made for the Titan.

He's one hell of a fabricator...
