Traction Bars

Got an idea while goin to the Wyotech Campus to check it out. Is it possible to have a friend fab some traction bars for me? I was thinkin along the lines of 1 round tube goin from the frame to the rear axel on each side of the truck. Is this goin to work? How much of a pain will it be?
