I was just thinking with the 3 point style there's NO WAY for any twist! Sweet, any question let me know, it's a nice easy swap.

i love the anti wrap bar I put on the crawler. 2 mount on axle, then a shackle at the frame mount. still allows articulation, and no wrap!

I know I've posted this before but heres my setup. Night and day difference in the way the truck handled. I towed heavy on a regular basis with this truck.

Solid at the rear? Is the shackle necessary if I'm not going to articulate it hard? I'm just worried about one holding all that twisting force on that one bushing on the shackle. I like the idea. How's it work for you? I like getting first hand info from people I trust rather than forum warriors telling stories.... Haha.

on the crawler it works great. I have 2 heims at the axle, then a shackle I deisgned with 2 heims too. I will be changing it out with a bushing where the shackle mounts to the frame, to stop the side to side it wants to do.


you will want whatever you do to be around the same length as the DS. my antiwrap bar is about 6 inches shorter than the rear DS. no issues so far
now I my dually I will be doing like ironman did above.
