the best way to build a traction bar the the way that will allow the least wrap is a connection piont above and below the axle tube then triangulate it to the front. you want hiem joints or something equivalant. the front joint or the point of the triangle needs to be on a shackle. the center of the heim joint must be very close to in line with the top driveshaft u joint. the other side of the shackle will be higher up and will attach to a crossmember that will run from frame member to framemember.
if you just build a single bar and go to the top or bottom of axle it will use the srpring as the other anchor point and start to S the spring. so you must use a ladderbar that mounts on the top and bottom of axle and the to theshackle that is attached to the crossmember.
i used to do a lot of 4 wheeling and this design worked well.
you do that and use good parts i gauruntee your axle wont wrap
