Any thoughts on how much road vibration and drive train vibration the solid end links will transfer to the cab?

I know I am new here so I hope you dont mind my opinion. Wouldnt it be both stronger and better looking if you had the traction bar mounting plate closer to the spring hanger. I guess what I am trying to say is would it be better if you didnt have the nut on the u-bolt between the mounting plate and the lower axle plate ?

If you took out the nut the u bolts would turn bc they wouldnt be as tight as they needed to be an most likely the rear would roll

Friends of mine are running them the same way no problems because the end still moves left to right some when tight but ill let you know when they are done on this one

Now if you didnt have a lift kit you could move it back more tho but because i have a 9" lift the bars are going to be more up they would hit every time moved back an they will look great ones i box the rear all in just wait they is a lot of work to go with them
