Default anti-wrap leaf spring mounts

Anyone have any luck with running these anti-wrap leaf spring mounts??

as opposed to figuring and fabbing an anti-wrap bar, just cutting out my leaf spring perches and welding these in would be much easier.

I'm running the ruffstuff ones on my 8.8. they're a 1/4" longer and you should support ruffstuff! lol. they work fine I suppose it would depend on how clapped out your leaf packs are

in theory they work. But If you use crappy leaf packs they will still wrap like a ****. They are no replacement for a traction bar but they help.

And I'd support ruffstuff as they are a vendor, look around for a coupon code too, they are always out there. I know its kinda hard to screw up a leaf perch, But I have received parts that don't fit from barnes, a diff cover with a leaking weld, and a wrong bolt kit. All from one order. Many of barnes parts seem to be a ripoff of ruffstuff as well.

thanks for all the help guys, i've decided to just re-pack the springs, i have a pair of S10 blazer springs to rob a bottom leaf out of and after a mistake on my order for leaf springs clamps i now have 12 clamps instead of the 6 i actually need. If the S10 leaf and new clamps don't fix it then its gonna be a new set of leafs.
