There's more to it than buying joints and welding in a bar, here's the two top brands I'm buying precision metal fab shortly

Depends on the style. I've seen some from various companies that are just a tube with rod ends plates with tabs welded on them. Both of those companies sell something similar to that and will be the cheapest style. Only problem is they bind the suspension. Both of those companies make floating traction bars in some form. If you look at the block mounted style be completely sure you get a block for the correct angle. Personally I like caltracs for a street vehicle. Not sure if they make them for what you need but call them up. If you want no bind you need an inboard traction bars like ruffstuff specialities sells.

One Up Offroad. They are the only ones I would recommend if you want to have your truck still ride nice, tow what you want, and still have your leaf springs work as designed.
You can get an all bolt on kit that you can put on in your driveway. The same exact kit is adjustable so it fits any cab or bed configuration and any lift height. So if you adjust the height later you can easily do it with this setup. Or if you sell it you can sell it to practically anyone.
You can incorporate air bags into the top mount. Don't have to mess with any special preload. These also will not make any noises and will be quiet.
Other types of traction bars can make your truck ride stiffer, limit suspension flex, make annoying noises, and require servicing after some time. I wouldn't buy anything that has a joint in it. They will need to be replaced eventually and can clunk or squeak over time.
This is a set I installed on my fathers stock truck in my driveway.
