Tramp Rods

[bjacobs]

Is anyone running the malwood tramp rods on their utes? Specifically any lowered fg utes?

Looks like a really good piece of kit and are now used on all of the V8 utes apparently. I cop a fair bit of tramp in 1st and am seriously considering getting a set in the future.

Interested to see if it is actually a proper fix for the problem and how peoples

I have them and my ute is lowered but I had to remove bump stops as they sit quite high above diff. Still creaky at slow take off ford problem but tramp is gone.

Here's a similar thread, with mention of the Malwood tramp kits:

I read through this not too long ago but there's not many reviews of them especially on the lowered utes. There is also a new bracket option now for the lowered utes which I think stops you having to cut the bump stops?? But not sure.

So do you find them creaky? Or was the suspension already creaky to begin with?

But if it's fixed your tramp then can't really complain! Did you cop it badly?

Was creaky before fitting them just at slow takeoff every now and then. Don't know if it's a common problem.
