    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

    sounds good but why match the driveshaft geometry? worry more about instant center.

    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

    Maybe I'll make the perches 26" long in front and just bolt them to the spring hangers...

    yeah. its just a lever. the longer it is the less it'll have to push up on the frame to keep the axle from wrapping
