Traction bars or clamp leaf springs

nope. Do both and clamp the front side of the leafs and take the straps around the back of the leaf off. Set the traction bar snubber about 1/2 -3/4 inch away from the eye of the front leaf bolt for street use. And before you get scolded by others, I'll tell you traction bars do work on older Mopars....
What kind of leaf springs?
brand new slant six
I was going to say if they were old wore out sprAngs, there's really no need. But if you clamp the front segments and unclamp the rears that will help.

It’s been my experience, if your pinion angle is correct and the front of the spring is clamped you shouldn’t have a need for traction bars !

oh ok.....
That's correct, because the front segment is so short, it acts as its own traction bar. Especially true with the SS springs.
Then get them. Plenty of people use them on Mopars and plenty of people admonish them for doing it......but they will work on a Mopar just like any other leaf spring car.
