Ok, so I'm new here, been reading and looking alot, but first time post.
Anyway, I am wondering if anyone here has ever made there own traction bars for an early ninety's Ranger. I have a 2WD '90 Ranger with the 2.9 in it, and I need a way to increase my traction. Anytime I corner at low speeds and accelerate hard(and I mean punched) the damn thing wheel hops so bad I have to let up for fear of breaking U-joints. So any suggestions on eliminating wheel hop or advise on making some traction bars would be helpful, I'm good at welding and machining, so that's not a problem.
