I have the Pedders/JTS reversed eye leaf springs in mine and swear by them!! HUGE difference in moving from stockie munroe shocks to Koni adjustable - yeeeehaaa
I agree with Harry - sort out the springs. Spend the $$$ for the right gear and enjoy - sometimes there is no cheap fix
Cheers

OMG my wagon axle tramps SOOOO badly.
I have wasted as shocks though and i presum when i get new ones, remove blocks and get the leafs reset (so its done properly) then it'd all be sweet.
Have you checked the cond of your shocks because they are prob toast.

I presume that its a standard ute,A12?

Personally, i've never had a problem with wheel tramp in my 1200 ute, it chews 13' 65-205 tyres quite easliy!!!!!
My coupe does!!!! badly!!!!!!!(Only because its CA18DET POWERED!!!!!)

I agree with L18_B110, check your springs and shocks, you might find that it needs new shocks, on a ute that is easy, 2 bolts on each side, done in 15 minutes!
try that first.
depends on if you lowered it and how you did it.

Is that a 'CALTRAK' set up in the photo??
looks like it.

with a worked A series like you have, there is absolutely no need for additional links. Its overkill, and besides it's just treating the symptom rather than the problem. If your shocks are in good condition and your springs are done properly, you will not have axle tramp problems.

I assume you have lowered the ute? how?

Saw another idea with a bracket welded to the top of the diff housing and a bracket welded under one of the ute tray supports with a bushed bar between- had started to twist the tray support- not a good idea!
