[gmduramax]

I used 1/2 inch/ 1 1/2 inch flat bar. $10
Four grade 8 bolts washers nuts $11
Two 1/8 inch Two 1/4 inch one 3/8 and another drill bit a bigger size. $40
Took me hour and a half to make

They work GREAT :thumb:

Hm maybe this should of been in suspension oops

I moved it for you. If you made another set and took pictures along the way, we could make this a little DIY... (and then you could send me the other set:D)

[RickDLance]

Or possibly the sled pulling forum. Am I correct in assuming thats why you did it?;)

[blksmok]

I know the guys clamp them to run the track as well...

[gmduramax]

I like to run at the track. I do have to make another set for my dad so I will take some pictures

Hey this may be a stupid question but whats the point of the clamps? Is it to minimise axel wrap or what, plus does this hurt anything to daily drive or is it best to take them off, does it give any worth while difference on the street?

[BackNBlackTJ]

We use them on our leaf sprung crawler rigs to limit wrap and prevent premature broken main leafs. Probably similar concept on a track truck or puller.

[James Hess]

Ok i had my thoughts right then but does it hurt to run them full time, or would the ride suffer from not being able to flex? <--i think it would.

:confuzeld: Dunno... mine is trailer only until we hit dirt so no road manners experience...

[James Hess]

Haha i can understand that. Dirt is always fun espicially with a rig like yours, i was meandering through your album earlier i have to say that i like the rig.

Makes me miss my old CJ although it was dang near stock with a 258 straight 6, exhaust whacked off at the manifold from wheelin, and larger tires it went through and over more obstacles in 2 wheel drive than my partners did in 4 wheel drive.

Course they were driving full size vehicles so i was alot lighter but when i kicked that sucker into 4 and hit first or second it was done bud up and out. :thumb:

james i would think that with a dually they wouldnt work for you because your almost touching your overload anyway, and then you have another overload on top of that.

here's a set we mad 1/2 X2"X5" 7/16 bolts X 5" heads cut of welded if you have added more leafs bolts need to be longer, drill or holes on lose plate side one size bigger than bolts will slide over much easyer

[James Hess]

Brian i dont think i will be putting them on my truck cause i have no need, i was just curious as to what other people were using them for and why. :thumb:
