Yeah, for now after spending all the money to get the truck where it is I’ll probably just see how they do. The other thing I was thinking if it has excessive wheel hop to put a traction bar running from the top of the third member to a crossmember. I looked at L&L’s but don’t like how low thy hang. I like the idea of 1 bar off top of rear to just keep it from rotating and wrapping the springs. Tire’s are 35’s

And yeah no mud or drag racing😁

I agree just finish it up and drive like you intended to, I bet you will be fine. Unless you get a heavy foot one time with the green light turn and decide to run off and leave some ricer farty muffler can car in the Ford made dust.

Or ease into it and then pass him so fast it peels the paint off the side and he has to take it back to Earl Scribe or Maaco and get it painted again.

Here is a couple ideas for the single top traction bar. Wrap Trap works with 4wd set ups. Yes early Bronco but you get the idea. https://www.wildhorses4x4.com/early-...hoCw-oQAvD_BwE

Same for this one Torque Tamer. https://dufftuff.com/product/torque-...n/#choose-year

Ever hear of a old school Trail Master Traction lift? You get a traction bar that is also a 2.5 lift block. Sort of works like old slapper bars. But is secured to the front of the rear leaf with some rollers to allow for some flex.

Or even another old school is a "traction shock". Mounts to a bracket on top of the leaf spring plate and then to the truck frame.

Just remember that two web links that I attached are for a early Bronco, or a "little Bronco".

You may also look into some torque arm kits.

I used the WFO kit and was very satisfied.
