Truck's Gotta Bite !

OK, roger that. Thanks. I also think the axle will twist a bit but at a minimum. The more twist force it exerts the more like a arm it becomes. With the snubber, there will be a minor compression for a minor twist.

I have a concern with where you mounted the rear of the bar. I have a rear it may bend on you. If the rear of the bar was welded to a square plate using all 4 of the axle tube bolts to hold it for better clamping and rigidness as taking both the force of rear and forward on the axle centerline. The old style plates were done this way.

Beat of luck with the project!
