you mean ladder bars? the one you bolt under your axle where it bolts to the leafs spring to restrict bend in the leaf spring? I don't see why not. might take some modification to bolt up maybe not. Unless you take some measurement to compare the setup to where it bolts too. You might also look into the helper springs that bolt on top of the leaf springs. Doesnt change ride hieght but does stiffen up the rear for better stability.
