Look at the distance from the top leaf to the axle tube, that is a long lever perpendicular the spring. You have to control the wrap below the axle tube with our problem, if you mount a bar over top of the axle the results will be much less effective.


Yes, I agree.

But why do you feel the front axle should be setup different then the rear axle. They are both doing the same thing.

I used the mounts and stabilizer bars with the rubber bushings from a 2wd Dodge on my 4wd competition truck. I also installed a full length heavy leaf under the top leaf to give support from shackle to shackle. I don't think the axle can wrap now.
