Sounds like you need to invest in a set of traction bars for the rear end.

Traction bars i know, i dont like it, it hangs on the bottom of the car when you enter a place with a slite curb it scratshes, and everyone can c it.

I had a look at 5 link sespentions. Was thinking something simular. One bar ontop of the diff forwords. Directly above the drive shaved. Can this work???

Try adjusting the pinion angle. typically done with wedges where the live axle mounts to the leaf springs...

Check out hte McDonald Bros website for some ideas.. A lot of different rear end set up pictures there.

The wishbone might be something similar to what you are talking about?

in 1200 utes you can make traction bars that are over the top of the diff and mout the the frame under the tray.

do you have lowering blocks? these will not help.

Also new urethane bushes or even brass bushes will make road noise a little loader but help reduce this problem.

Dont mind roadnoise, plan big sound, havent seen brass buses, but i havent seen everything. Sounds lekke could you send me a pic and some spec on what brass.
Lowering blocks, Jes, but only 25mm, leave springs changed to get that ass down. Was thinking of taking it out to get the tracting sorted, the nose is down so i have to lower the rear to match.
Have downloaded some pics on rear axeals but cannot upload them here??

It bounces all over when i take off hard,(I like doing that!) Its like the rubber grips to much on the tarmac and starts bouncing (very irretating) need to get the power on the track and not the springs???

Sounds like it is to stiff, you say it has grip so you need to get some compliance in the suspension. lowering the rear should help, strange as it sounds the sandbag idea is a good start. Put 30 to 40kg at the back of the tray and give it a try, at least it is cheap and will give you some more information.
