I did a search and didn't find much. So I'm starting a thread. If I missed a good thread on this please point me in the right direction.
I didn't do as much research as I probably should have and bought a set of the procomp bars and the mounting kit.
I have an 08 F350 cc long bed 4x4 with an h&s mini, delete (should be in my sig, but in case its not or you have them turned off) with 126k miles. I tow a 48 foot toyhauler that is probably around 18k with 3 to 4k of pin weight on the goose. I've been feeling what I thought was axle wrap on take off and a shaking sometimes when it shifts. I'm hoping these bars will help. My truck is stock with no lift, just air bags in the back.
These arms were not made to install on a stock truck I've pretty much determined. I had to add spacers to the frame end of the install to space them out down and on the drivers side away from the frame so that the traction bar bolt on the frame end doesn't hit the fuel tank. They have to be spaced down because they will hit the over loads if not. There was no warning about any of this when I bought the kit from 4Wheel Parts. I almost have them installed, just need to drill two more holes on the drivers side frame.
Anyone else dealing with this?
Here is the mount that comes with the kit
Here is the fab work that I did to space them out.
