a torque arm is about a 1000x better but those will help weight transfer a bit. I would probably just use a good set of lowers in your place though. I don't like attaching anything to the axle tubes without welding them to the pumpkin though... so that's my caution point.

Just get some weight jacker arms from MM. Same basic effect and you don't have to worry about twisting the axle tubes out of the housing.

So,if I weld the tubes would these be the way to go? I'm looking to get a set of DR's real soon. I just have to make up my mind on witch ones. I relly need to get it to hook better.

If they're welded up it should be fine and I'd bet they'll help a bit but I can't say how much.

Defining if it's the way to go for you is up to you... Given that it's a lakewood part and they seem to specialize in drag parts it should be pretty good. I've never used them though... I have a torque arm.
