Traction Bars

I wanna see hoe the DIY traction bar runners (If there are any) how they have there bars mounted to there trucks. Cause I want to figure a way to mount them to my truck. Since I have to do a axle swap, new shocks, etc. I figure do all the work and stuff while its a rolling chassis. I know the cummins guys make plated for there turcks and I thought about making a plate that would be put under the 4 inch block and drill holes in it to have the U-Bolts hold it in place, but I want to do this the right way so show me the way guys.
