And the first time you get some good traction and bend that Schedule 40 all to **** you will already know how to make the next set! Or you can just use some DOM or even HREW.
Also Tractor end links suck on the street, after a while they get alot of slack and start banging.

Yo, Dude, I was refering to the posts I'd read on other forums. Most of the Dudes were more than happy with the outcome using the same parts that I mentioned. Do a search on the other forums if you don't believe me.............at least before you start trying to flame me!!!!!!

Ok, its sandy where i live and my '03 has terrible axle wrap. Cant hardly drive on my driveway in 2wd. My dads '06 is the same way, but his '02 power joke goes right through with no problem. When the dodges start hoppin, it makes them get stuck. I am lookin for an affordable way to fix this axle wrap. I dont do any serious 4 wheeling so im not looking for anything big and fancy. Any help is appreciated
to bad the powerjokes not needing to be put on this site for help

blah blah blah Don't kid yourself my friends 99 PSD Wheel hops like a mother cut the crap both of you. They both suck.
I would run a set of ladder bars and run a shackle on the front. A bit more complex and a little more material but it controls axle wrap better and it doesn't bind up.
Also I would run Johhny Joints. They are $40 bucks and rebuildable. I would run them on the frame and since this is a street truck I would use regular urethane bushings on the axle. You can find a mounting bracket for the axle at, DIY4X: Catering to those who enjoy doing it themselves. you can find shackles too.
You can take it to a welding shop if you don't feel confident in your welding abilities. Then I would use 1.5" Sch 80 pipe or DOM .2 or .25 tubing. Make a bracket out of 1/4" steel and bolt it to the frame.
Simple? I'm gathering parts to do the exact same thing to my truck and the 99 PSD.
