Thanks Ryan, yes that was/is my car and I do remember talking to you. Thanks for spending a minute or two to speak with me - I appreciate more than people know.
Bill S. (Old Red Alert) - I have been looking at the Stop-Hop bars. Some also call them traction bars. Some say that they work but make the car ride harsh. It looks like I will probably be getting a set after I get the pinion seal leak fixed. Thanks for your input on this issue - I value it more than a lot of the ads.

I think Bill is talking about "Southside Machine Bars". This is a brand name but they locate the rear of the lower control arm lower than stock. I've used them in the past and noticed no difference in ride quality. JMO

These bars don't affect the ride at all. The bars that are similar to leaf spring bars might. The holes in the 3 "fingers" would require you to drill thru the "fins" on the diff housing for a long bolt to go thru. If you prefer to not do that, they still work well.
