JL uses 52" traction bars, right? He gets some sick 60' times, with shorter bars... Is there anything special about those traction bars over the 58" offered by everyone else, besides the shorter length? Or is it in the shocks and weight of his truck?

Just don't understand those freaking impressive 60' times, and why his bars are a few inches shorter then the others...

Long bars (long/low intersect points) create traction for the longest time but react slowly and are lazy off the starting line. Short bars (short/high intersect points) created traction for a shorter time but react much faster and launch harder than long bars.
