Savage!

I love the ratchet strap trail fixes to get home! 

We have had to do that for broken knuckle studs,
Buddy had some rear lift blocks spit out, enter rachet straps.
I have had to strap my motor down after mounts broke and engine torque caused my alt. to hit my steering and i couldn't turn.,
Not to mention the countless other ratchet strap fixes.

I will say thats the most amazing thing ive seen yet regarding them lol.

Time for a traction bar....

I've seen those ladder bars tear an axle housing like paper. There's a lot of stress because the axle wants to move backwards. The lead pack probably just took the brunt

I sure did, it held fine and really want as bad as you'd think.



  And right now I've got a few options, my motor needs valves so it's either swap a 3.4 in( doubt I'll be able to get everything good in this truck for the ref) swap to a 22re wich I should be able to easily ref and then turbo it, or  do the valves in my motor and 4 link the rear.

buy a 90-95 s10 blazer for around 1200-1500 do a ref legal 4.3 swap or do valves

[hansi530]

22res are easy to swap the hardest part is building motor mounts but i dont know too much about the getting it smog legal

Yeah that's definitely a broken leaf pack right there, no doubt about it. I bet if you had a overload spring it wouldn't have broken.
