Ladder bars have been used and proven throughout the automotive and off-road industry for years. A properly designed ladder bar will reduce axle wrap and wheel hop. When a spring pack reaches its giving or tolerance point, the leaf pack will curve into an S-shape and the rear pinion will rotate upward. Some of the most common causes of this problem are a sudden burst of traction or power. The purpose of a ladder bar is to hold the pinion angle and reduce axle wrap. A ladder bar that is designed with proper length allows the bar to cycle with the suspension. If you don’t have experience and knowledge of how a ladder bar works, you should not build or install them. We have been lifting trucks and suvs since 1987 and have installed hundreds of lift kits, many of which have had ladder bars built and installed. If a ladder bar system is too short or improperly designed it will cause the suspension to bind, however a proper ladder bar system will do its job without any issues. I guess it is rather clear that not everyone on here understands how leaf spring suspension works. Don’t think they will hold together or that yours are better, feel free to bring your truck, we have a chain. We are here during the week from 9-5 every day.
