Can someone post some pics and how to connect the pivot end.I searched and found one pic.Sounds like this might be a cheap effective solution to tame the wrap monster.Need pics of the full set up.Thank you in advance.

you can pretty much mimic this setup except use a radius arm and wedges on the axle....

I did this back in '02. It was suppose to be temepary, proof of concept. still running today. Uses a pair of sway bar end links each angled at 45°. This spreads the lifting forces into each link. One link gets 50% of the force in a compression mode, the other gets 50% in a tension mode.
