Dbl G also now sells some x-factor type brace for that rear section...

His product is called the "Spyder Brace"

"For those of us whom have a rear Roll Pan or have dropped the Trailer Hitch and want extra bracing in the rear, this is your answer.
That takes all Stability that was lost and replaces it and then some, not only will this be great for the Road Course junkies out there, but for the ones that want that added rigidity in the frame.
These will nicely compliment a Panhard system and Sway.
Again a first on the market.
Available for $175 The Spyder Brace will be followed by it's bigger brother soon.

3/16"th attachment points and 1/4" gusseting with an 1 1/4" tubular backbone that is an 3/16"th thick as well."

 

Oh, Tim, was that bedless photo of the shock relocation your truck? If so, that a custom job? I've got the heim mounts, but that angle plate is pretty spiffy.

 

Nice looking brace. I can't tell by the picture. Do the brackets fits inside the frame rails and do the bolts go right trough and bolt from the top?

 

Pics needed. Stat.

 

GO too any Circle track supply site and one can find dozens of weld in styles available.
Now as far as bolt in's that are retro fit there are only a couple out: Stan's and Mine to name just a few...And No Goodyear wasn't the first tire manufacture!

 

I'm pretty clear on that. I'm also clear that almost all of them use 3" axle tubes.

I want to see TB's setup.

 

Sorry Tim,, My Tim never has two cups of coffee at home!!!

I had these on for about 60K, it handles (sways much less) at higher speeds, it feels like the truck is glued to the road. It feels like it bites harder, and with a slight adjustment I can increases my hauling capacity. Oh yea it also stops wheel hop.. And on and on....

I don't say it works, it just works for me........

After all, this is really AN OLD FARM TRUCK, I have forgotten how many stumps I have removed, or how much chain linked faience line I have ripped from over grown trees, or how many times, I have loaded 16 sacks of (80 lbs cement).. Oh yea tires usually only last me about 6 to 8K, a set.
I quickly learned never to rotator the front to the rear, burn the rear, replace the front...

Sorry to ramble, but I never really felt any type of frame warp, when tearing or pulling any fallen trees, or on a WOT rush!!!

 

Tim,
Which picture do you want to see?

TB

 

"new longer panhard bar"!

 

 

ooo...interesting.

 

Ahh yes, new suspension goodies are allways a groovy thing...

 

 

Forgive my ignorance - what is it?
