[QUOTE="ftoy516, post: 705931, member: 6879"] Does anyone have any good tips or references to read about setting up an Anti-wrap bar...i have looked and it seems to be all over the place and its hard to find information that is more geared toward Off road suspensions. I am looking to install an anti-wrap bar on my Ftoy, but i have EXTREMELY limited locations to mount one. I am trying to figure out how much Force will be transferred in to the swing shackle side of the setup...mainly because every place i am looking to mount the "shackle" side of the anti-wrap bar seems to be a big question mark. I really only have two locations that i could mount the "shackle" side; 1. The first location would be off of my battery box mount, which is behind the passenger seat. The mount i built for this is made of 1x1 square tubing welded to the chassis, and braced at a 45 from the bottom so the battery weight will not push the mount down. This location would put the bar end about 6 inches past the spring eyes but about the same distance from the end of the transfer case output flange. It would be around 36 inches mounted at this location. 2. The second location would be on the transfer case/skid plate mount (which i just BEEFED up. This would make the bar about 42 to 46 inches, but may come into contact with the battery mount depending on the amount of travel under the compression of the suspension, a lot of that would depend on how much the "swing shackle" mount places the front of the anti-wrap bar away from the mounting location. Having never messed with one of these systems it is hard for me to know. I have read a few things that said the longer the better, and some say to have something STRONG to mount the "swing shackle" end to....but to me if that location moves on a shackle its purpose is to let it move Freely and not let the system bind. And the Triangulation from the Anti-wrap bar is what is doing the work by not letting the pinion rotate upward under torque. I have been looking at the kit that Ruffstuff sells, it seems to be a good all in one package. Also Barnes 4x4 has one that looks good as well.
