I keep tossing around the idea of tractions bars. I want the ones that mount above the springs and connect to the front of the axle. I am not sure I will see a big enough improvement though to want to spend the money. I have NO wheel hop and the last thing I need to do is make the rear end too tight. Without my cap on my truck, the rear becomes way to easy to kick out. I am not sure trhe hell-wig bar would be the way to go without some for of weight back there. Of course maybe the front was too loose and that led to some weird handling. IDK, it's just what I've experienced.
I did my tranny crossmember several weeks ago and have nothing but positive to report. My stocker was shot and the new one from suicidedoors.com really tightened things up. I have the rad arm crossmember here and need to go use my buddies shop to do it. I don't feel like crawling around on the ground again plus all the damn rivits that have to be ground off.
I need to do my body mounts as well. I noticed last year on one of them the metal washer is gone but the rubber is holding up so far. They are all cracked though and have seen better days.
I would also like to get new leaf spring bushings. Even with the newer springs and bushings, the rubber has already started to show its age.
One nice thing, I now have a garage to keep the truck in and a beater to abuse daily. Once I get these things done, I would hope that I won't have to do them again for a very, very long time.
