Poor tires will still shake, because of the tire itself.

This is one of the largest contributing factors to death wobble. Our upgraded radius arms combined with this are fool proof.

is that one of the reasons that the 6.7s front end chatter so bad when sled pulling? i have only seen a few do it as mine did but they appear to try and do a chevy and wheel hop at the same time..

Its a small part. This is for all 05+ trucks. The radius arm bushing is culprit number 1

How would one stop wheel hop sled pulling?

The ALA's combined with proper tire pressure and good shocks do a VERY good job of reducing the hop and the joint helps cut down the chatter.

Unfortunately most people don't realize that track conditions and tire pressure play a huge part in all of it.

tire pressures fir sure.. one guy on here posted that he ran as little as 15lbs in his front tires on his 6.7 to combat it all and the vid proved to be smooth as hell..

Don't know yet. Probably the 7.3. But maybe the 6.7 lol. I wouldn't care one bit if I break the 7.3 pulling. I would with the 6.7 lol.

Did I read that right, $400 just for the joint?


Yes you did. They are extremely expensive to manufacture and very time consuming to assemble.

Ask any of the guys running them how much better they are. Plus the ability to flip the track on top of the axle is awesome on lifted trucks.

Maybe not for everyone, but everyone who has them loves them.

Wow, that's more than the aftermarket track bar itself...

I'd have to be in dire need with repeated stock joint failures to need one.
