It is up, just checked. You getting an error?

Here is what I ended up doing Building an anti-wrap set for a bobbed deuce I will be able to test this out this weekend during a catch and release shark tournament. I better not get stuck :)

I was going to add another piece, which is much thicker wall, from the bottom axle mount area all the way up to the shackle mount area. Essentially the current bottom link will act as the axle side brace, I will put another one toward the front end. I should be able to do it this weekend...

I like that, makes since since if you use the tractor links there is an extra rod end. I might have to copy that :)

If the modification doesn't work I will be starting over from scratch and will use mounts like Randydirt has which I can make the lower mount just under the axle.

Pretty much what I was planning on doing :) Do you mean run the lower bracket under the axle housing? Right now it is at the bottom when mounted to the front of the housing. If I end up rebuilding everything, I will try to get more distance between the two mounting points on the axle housing.

Ok I tested mine out. It worked beautifully while in 2wd in thick sand until....I climbed a small dune and bent the longside pipe. Schedule 40 that long will bend :) It isn't bent much, just a slight bend, but when it happened it started to wheel hop a little. Not nearly as bad as the wheel...

Nice brackets :)

LOL, just the ones on the lift block :) Be a stiff ridin SOB with all leaf packs welded together :)

Mine came with them, they look like a cut down spring pack. They seem to be welded to the housing and to themselves (the individual leaves).

Here is a little bit better pic. I also added another to that other link. Almost took it to the beach tonight, will probably have to wait till this weekend.

Bushings are mainly for the dampening (noises) and are cheaper, but in my case it was just cheaper to use them since I bought the tractor links. They were fairly cheap and aside from the trailer hangers and shackle, everything else I used was just crap I had around the garage. There is no...

I have them on my M35, they do make good grab handles when getting up from under the truck :) Thanks for the info :)

Also since you have a good pic of them, what are those handle looking things for? Are they tie downs?

I thought of doing something similar to that since I didn't think there was very much articulation in the springs, and since it isn't like I am going to go rock crawling. Do you get any bind in that setup? The rear actually articulates alot more then I ever thought it would, could be since it...

Yeah just one side and yep, the lift block sure doesn't help. Neither do the m105 springs and the 16.00R20 XZLs :) So far these seems to have fixed it, but won't know for sure till I get it in the thick stuff. Some more pics at http://fmvowners.com/index.php/topic,39.0.html, I will try to...

Umm, no, it is a single bar, with two mounting points on the axle and a shackle mount to the frame. Ladder bars are fixed on all 3 points and are for race cars.

I was getting pretty bad wheel hop in the sand so I decided to build an anti wrap link setup. The pic is kind of bad, I need to take another one. Haven't tested it out yet (in sand) but so far just driving it around seems a little more crisp on the throttle, but that could all be in my head :)
