    So I'm tired of the leaf spring twist during stopping. Most noticeable during emergency stops. I've heard some quality add a leaf can help or leaf spring clamps. My truck sits pretty low on the oem springs. I plan on doing a 2.5 lift later when I can afford quality parts. Thinking to do something to solve the twisting for now. What is the most effective to solve this for on the cheap. If it adds some lift it would be awesome.
    Thanks for the help

    AAL will add height and stiffness but I am not sure if it would fix the axle wrap issue. Usually, axle wrap is upon acceleration and not braking, especially since front brakes have way more power than rear brakes. AAL's are pretty cheap and fairly easy to install. If you are getting a "wrap" sensation upon braking you may check out control arm bushings and leaf spring bushings to make sure they are in good condition.
