i just found these torque arm pics in a different folder, just for ideas
1st pic is the trailer shackle i was referring to
this one has no rubber, it clanks when shifting from reverse to forward
i bolted it to the x-member behind the trans

the idea is simple.
you could weld a spring pad on the axle and use U-bolts to attach a 2x2 square tube
and a similar shackle on front and call it a torque arm
