Axle wrap and solution.

I am driving a 79 F350 Ranger, 400M, 4" Rancho sup lift. I have extreme axle wrap and have read much about solutions, I am on a tight budget seeing as we are creeping up on the holidays and a friend said he found helper springs for his 77 F250 highboy about $70. I have done hours of research and cant seem to find any that go right with my truck.

So the question:
Does anyone have a direct site to helper springs about this price or another solution that i would be able to afford.

Ahead of time all help is greatly appreciated.

Boomer

Can you fabricate? If so, then fab up a torque arm. Take a look at the ones they sell for GM F-Body cars for inspiration.

These torque arms are like 3 point ladder bars/racing J bars?

Alright, and thats going to be the most effective money efficient solution. I really appreciate input. I'm new to this forum so getting to know it. The way i used to learn things was from the word of "the guys" and im not sure how reliable any of it turned out.
