i can see how that would work if the design were refined. the drawing is definately rough. interesting

so I'm gonna eat my words here...
are there any tricks that I should know before making an anti-wrap bar?
In particular how do I keep it from creating "hella anti-squat?"
I'm thinking bushings at the axle end, shackle at the crossmember end with a bushing at the crossmember and heim at the bar, and try to make the geometry match the driveshaft
Just make one like Fellar's. Its already toyotafied so just copy and paste that **** onto your truck.

um, for some reason it seems like matching the driveshaft geometry would keep it from binding, since I'm only gonna put in 1 heim instead of 3. I guess the driveshaft can move any direction it wants though so that really doesn't follow
a short antiwrap bar pushes up on the frame when you launch, extending the rear suspension and creating "antisquat," correct?
just make 10" long spring perches and a 8" long top plate. Bolt together and the problem is solved
