decently priced traction/ladder bars?

gotta put the traction TO THE GROUND, not bouncing up and down in my rear wheelwells.

Who sells reasonably priced traction/ladder bar setups for these?

thank you!

Is this on a 2wd or 4wd? How much power are you putting down? Do you have a locker? Some more basic info would help us out.

In general most people who modify the rear suspension (other than a lift) do a 4 link setup. I have only seen ladder bars on drag cars. I know that a build your own 4 link kit can be had for a few hundred bucks and is fairly straight forward to install. Im sure there are DIY ladder bars out there too.

If 2WD, it's gonna already have to have an axle flip cuz typical traction bars mount under the leaf springs. Without an axle flip, then you're looking at a torque arm (also applicable to 4WDs).
