Need help with rear suspension

Looking at your pic again, there is no snubber present. So t he bar isn't doing anything. Slapper bars make the suspension too tight, since they clamp the leaf springs together. So if you have one, and not the other, the suspension is going to be screwed up. One side will be tight, the other loose. I recommend that if you only have one of those, GET IT OFF ASAP!

Long bars prevent the axle from wrapping up due to torque, when you stomp on the loud pedal. Slapper bars are only partially effective. I've had them, and ditched them pretty quickly when I realized how much better long bars really are.

Feel free to hit me up for a set of Stifflers long bars. They will perform much better than slapped bars.

Definitely get a set of Stifflers from Jeff! @junioRace

Waaayyyyyyy better than the JLP bars! Not to bash on them but the Stifflers have superior ground clearance!

I meant to include you, but for the life of me, I couldn't recall the name of the alternative to JLP. MY BAD!!

As for ground clearance, as long as hey are above the rims, they are good to go. Look at the pics I posted of the JLP's, they are above the ground if the tire goes completely flat. Nothing else matters.

Wrong, the front mount point is easy to scrape on things like speed bumps, and angled driveways.
This was the whole reason I went with stifflers instead of jlp

The jlp front mount is low enough to drag on a lowered truck.

For rob that's not an issue

I also run stifflers because they're adjustable and have better clearance.

my truck somehow lost a ladder bar o
the driver side and every now and then it starts to shake in the back. Was wonderimg if its safe to drive since ita my daily driver and/or if i take off the other ladder bar will it stop shaking as bad. basically i need to drive it until i can either buy anothwr ladder bar for that side or just do order some performance traction bars. sorry in advance if this isnt the place to post here. Just for reference i posted a picture because im not so mechanically inclined.

Need to figure out why it's shaking the back end before you start tossing other parts at it. Take the other slapper bar off and go from there.

I've never hit them. But yeah, the previous owner had. One of the front mounts on mine is a little bent. Was that way when I bought them. I haven't added to it. But I watch for those things you refer to. My transmission pan is the lowest item on my truck.
