    Just posted this on the other, maybe traction bars would help. I dont know a thing about them but, i think i might look into them.

    I think....traction bars are in the front end, meaning for a 2wd it wouldn't do anything. But i, like you, honestly don't know much at all about traction bars lol. I just need, both my rear tires to pull. Not only for off-road reasons, but just for driving in general. That truck slides around everywhere when its wet. The truck really doesn't see much off-road stuff at all, thats what the dodge is for

    traction bars usually mount to the frame and attach to the rear axle. torsion bars are what is up front
