I went out to test the SOA on my 40 Saturday and noticed the expected wheel hop, so Sunday I built a Woody-style anti-wrap ladder bar. I also welded the rear according to Woody's pics. Pretty easy to do both with the right materials and tools. I haven't taken any pics 'cause it looks just like Woody's pics, except I went right to the 3 heim set-up and used 1" x .125 DOM and weld in inserts left over from my steering.
Welding safety note. While brake cleaner is an excellent choice for cleaning the diff gears before welding, and non-flammable may be a better than the flammable kind, make sure there is no puddle of cleaner in the carrier. Non-flammable brake cleaner is also known as Chlorinated. I was welding away and sucked in a bunch of chlorine gas. It burned and I felt crappy for the rest of the day. Probably not a good thing.
