TRACTION BARS?????????
I made a set for my 89 F150 and they work great. I used to be able to spin the tires for about 100 feet and these bars cut it down to about 60 feet plus the truck doesn't jump around in the back end so much any more.

TRACTION BARS?????????
I have piece of 3/8 plate with 4 holes in it that I slide over the U-bolts. I then have a piece of 3/8 flat bar that is welded perpendicularly to this plate on the U-bolts which runs along the leaf spring towards the front. Is is anlged slightly downward. The end of the flat bar ends near the front of the spring where another piece of plate is welded witn one of them rubber stoppers on it. The spring is also clamped half way from axle to spring mount.
