Yeah, that's the right idea. But if you want to make the ladder-bar adjustable (pinion angle), you'll need to add another pivot where the lower link attaches to the upper link. I probably wouldn't bother with that if it was my truck. Just get all your mounting point set up right the first time...

Thanks, but that's a pretty common technique for controlling axle-wrap on rock crawlers and desert trucks. If you didn't want to use a shackle, you could use a telescoping ladder-bar instead. Seen that done too. If you search pirate4x4, you'll find more info on this topic than you'll want to...

Yeah, I understand. With the limited amount of suspension travel that you're likely to have with that springpack, you might be OK. Only way to know is to try it. Mock it up, cycle the suspension. Make adjustments. Repeat as necessary.

If you're only planning on using one link, the geometry is very important. If it's not spot-on, it will bind. It's probably not going to be as much of a problem as it can be on rock crawlers and desert race trucks, but that's just because of the limited wheel-travel you're dealing with. There...

Those links ARE forged, right? Personally, I'd use tubing (instead of pipe) and I'd want to knock the corners off the links so I could get a tighter fit. I'd do like rosco suggested, and plug-weld them in a few places. I'd also cut the tube that will slide over the links on an angle, or a...
