My fiddy-2's are fanning out too much at full droop. I'm worried about axle wrap, breaking main leaf, & pinion angle. Looking for ideas on the quickest & easiest ways to make some retainers for them. I'm thinkin' about some with a bolt through the top. Perhaps some cut & drilled c-channel, or something. Any other ideas? Thanks!

piece of strap bent in a U, secure to the overload somehow. Limiting strap is a good choice too.
Replace one of your leaves with a leaf that has a factory retainer?

all you need to do is clamp the main leaf to the leaf under it to prevent any bending in the leafs.
just get 2 pieces of steel strap that are about 3" long each, drill 2 hole in the ends, put one on the top leaf and the other under it below the 2nd leaf, then just run some bolts threw there to tighten them together.
