rear axle twist / panhard rod

[Dan Herr]

Is anyone aware of an aftermarket reinforcement that would reduce rear axle twist on a K2500HD?

[More Power]

KennedyDiesel.com is testing a link bar for the 2500HD that is designed to reduce/eliminate spring wrap/wheel hop. I hope he's successful, cuz I'll need a set on TDP's project truck.

The best street bars I have seen mount from the spring plate to the front spring hanger

have you seen them on a 2001 and newer i have a set from my 86 but they are to short if i cant find them i will have to weld something on to them to make them longer.

[JoeyD]

I have not, but they can be made from any machine shop.

We've had them at the track for a little bit of testing, but the slicks were not cooperating. Hope to get more track time on them soon. These not only control axle wrap, but help to "plant" the rear tires...

What type of bar are you testing does it mount on top of the spring or the bottem ?

[JoeyD]

They should be mounted on top. John's must be as he mentions more tire plant.
The axle wants to rotate the pinion down as you apply power so a bar mounted to the top will have a lifting affect as power is applied.
