It makes driving a bit smoother over obstacles as has been said higher. The anti-wrap bar though, very much worth it, the pinion can't move anymore and it doesn't limit travel so I can use only the main leaf out back for more flex.

Love your paint scheme, very different but well executed on the weathering IMO.

Thanks! After a couple of years of wear on these leafs, I'm finally starting to get minor axle wrap. The anti-wrap bar is on my list for this rig in the near future. The shackle reverse has been pretty handy so far and I've noticed improvement, even if I initially ordered it just for the aesthetics of having the hardware oriented correctly.

My Marlin is nearing completion of it's latest major makeover. Just need to install the light kit and scale goodies!
