The sedan guys are raving about them at the moment.Also the anti tramp kit from Capa for the Diff? Just wondering if for $65 it does anything?

Problems is it keeps braking the centre bolt that holds the leafs together.I've snapped the bolt in three places a couple of times but the bolt can be replaced.they do help a bit. I have taken them off now. I have replaced them with a set of anti tramp leaf springs. They have helped a lot but have also removed them as the ute was a little low with them.Rear swaybar is great in the ute. Instead of the back end rolling around the corner it is sitting flatter and sliding nicely under acceration.The only thing I can say about the swaybars is that it would be nice to have a welded fixing to the diff.Swaybars are highly recommended.
