I noticed on one of the post that someone had welded what looks like pipe from one side to the other, that is probably the same function as what I am doing. What it is supposed to do is take out frame flex. Hopefully it will help. I have had no problems, but I plan on putting on more miles than I have done in the past.
Hi Up2
I am most likely the one you saw with the pipe welded between the hangers. And yes that was added to stiffen up the hangers from flexing in turns. I picked that tip up from some off road guys who go up and over large objects and that puts more twist in the hangers. In my case it is more from turning around in my driveway and having 5" long hangers with thin I beam flanges. (Frame to bolt center = 5") It works well. I know Mor ryde has come out with a bolt in kit that goes left to right between the hangers to do have a similar effect.
Hope this helps
John
