Mopar Performance sells a nice pair of clamps, I got them through Summit,
for like 30 bucks with shipping. I thought about making some, very easy to
do, but summit had mine here the next day.
just as a note, I didn't see much benefit from the clamps, but when I put my
traction bars on it totally eliminated the wheel hop, and reduced my time
almost a .10 sec. from 14.9 to 14.8.
I got my traction bars from Autozone, they are Lakewood Universal fit, 29.99
and I painted them black. Also, I placed the bars as far forward as possible
the snubber is almost under the front spring eye.

Aight, here's the deal, went to get some steel to make some spring clamps
today (to kill my wheel-hop) bad part is the company has a $25min charge.
So before I hit the scrap yard to get 16" of the stock, I figgured I'd see
how much interest I can stir up on the DML. The material is $0.75 per foot,
and since 16" is required for each application, my math (which isn't
exactley good) brings the grand total to $1.00 per truck.
So here's the offer, I'll buy the stock, cut and drill as needed and include
neccesary hardware if there is sufficient interest. Total costs will be
split up umong those interested, I'm not out to make any profit, just gotta
get more traction before I break into the 14's on the 29th.... (knock on
wood)
