Traction/ladder bars

Ive had my f350 for awhile, but drive it rarely. I was greasing it the other day and noticed that my pinion angle is off, the pinion is too high. The truck was lifted before I bought it and I guess they did it wrong. Anyway, I was messing around and tried to do a burnout, the diff wrapped up, maxed the U joint angle, bottomed out the slip yoke, and broke the U joint strap bolts which ended in carnage ha. Now I'm going to get the driveline rebuilt and fix the pinion angle and build some ladder bars.
Im just looking for tips on building some bars so it won't wrap up anymore. What works best? I mainly use the truck for hauling stuff and pulling a camp trailer. Not really an off road rig so suspension flex is not super important, but it needs to be able to squat with a load without breaking stuff.
