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!!!!!!

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.

Thanks for digging up an old post, if you read the link I posted over a year ago that is one of the options.
