yep, you need some sort of traction bar in the rear to assist with controlling axle wrap.

procomp has a nice kit (no it's not their crappy suspension ideas, it's JUST ladder bars. they go for about $450 with the mounting kit and everything. that's what i think im going with, because the ORU's that i REALLY want are around $1050.

I am running a set of Fabtech Trac bars and love them! They mount in the front to the frame rail with a shackle, which allows for full articulation of the suspension when the truck is compressed with a load, ie gravel in bed or heavy trailer. However, they do not allow axle wrap or wheel hop. You can see them in this picture.

Thanks for the compliments! I don't have any close-up pics, but I can take some and post them. Just give me some time, as I'm rediculously bussy right now. Not to busy to help FTE'ers though!
