Where to get some traction bars?

I have a 1969 Ford F-100 and I'm tired of rear axle hop. I'm trying to find some traction bars for it, but the only ones I've found are like $350!!! That's crazy! I know a lot of people make them for different trucks for like $150-$200. Anybody know where I can look???

i dont have a pic but what i did was to install a set of $40 slaper bars(jegs part # 620-20475) i bolted them on upside down on top of the spring pionting backwards and preloade the heck out of them.the torque of the axle wrap will push the rearend down also

Lakewood makes a heavy duty spring clamp set(bolts on). If you clamp the springs at the section where there are three leafs it will stop the wheel hop. I was having bad wheel hop after installing the 4:10 posi unit. After adding those clamps the wheels stay planted.

The clamps stopped it completely. They are only about $25.00.
