I started a thread in the 200 section to stir some Interest. @HDJdreams im
With you man. I badly want one for
My 200. Lets keep on these guys until they produce one for the 200. I ordered one for my 80 last week.
This bracket FINALLY CURED the unnervingly darty handling of my 80.
I spent 3.5 frustrating years... Begging the Collective Mud Brain: after 1.5 years and 3 mechanics, post-lift handling still sucks!!! ...and thousands of dollars, and week after week in the shop trying to fix this, nevermind countless hours reading Mud.
And I installed a plain vanilla 2.5" OME lift and 33s because I didn't want drama.
No one ever thought to look at the rear axle--I mean it's gotta be the front end cause it's steering problems, right? Rebuilt the steering box, installed Slee caster bearings and caster brackets and got 7 degrees of positive caster, it went on and on.
Nothing. Still darty. Hated to drive the thing on the freeway cause you could never relax and just drive.
Then I read this thread, installed the bracket, and now my 80 drives like a dream--just goes where you point it at 70 mph regardless of freeway bumps and ruts. Get caught between two big rigs at speed on bad roads? No big deal any more.
It's an absolute pleasure to drive now.
I was just outside with a tape measure, and I have a 6" difference between the axle bolt and the frame bolt. However, I don't want to compromise articulation. Would the 3" be of any benefit?
You would most likely still benefit from having an adjustable panhard to get your rig tracking perfectly...
So, I'm imagining I'll need to re-adjust my adjustable panhard when this goes in - 3" bracket going in, with a 2 7/8"ish axle bolt/frame bolt difference. Adjust it a hair shorter? Probably pretty evident once I get under the rig...
I would absolutely recommend being ready to adjust it (by shortening), and it would be great if you report back what you found.
Can one of you guys remind me what the torque spec is for this bracket? (I know, I tried a quick search. Feel free to call me names.)
Per instruction - Torque all 3 bolts to 181ft lbs

Thank you sir. I found my instructions but it's good to have confirmation too.
NP looking forward to your feedback
I just got back from driving 200 miles with the bracket installed. This mod lives up to all of the hype. I'm another idiot who had this bracket sitting in my garage for a while because I had to remove the Slinky spring to install. I should have just invested the time long ago. I would say this bracket made as much difference as my castor correction brackets. My rig used to make me feel like I was rolling around on top of a beach ball. Now, it feels planted an flat through corners. Before, it felt like body roll in the rear would steer the vehicle. Now, that sensation is gone. Before, my rig would have moments where it would randomly pull left or right. That is totally gone. I used to have to use 2 hands to change lanes on crowned highways. Now, I can use 2 fingers. I suspect that this mod will help my tire wear as well because my rear tires tended to wear on the outside first. Without all that body roll, I'm curious to see if that wear evens out. Another happy customer.
