Wow man, you must be jobless and taking in "Obama checks" after turning up that much information.

Wow can't get a simple response with out a bunch of smart ass pricks go roll some ****ing coal or something

Your responses are so polite I'm surprised you haven't gotten more help.

You know I heard that the best bars are actually built out of thin wall aluminum tubing....

Sent while doing burnouts somewhere in the country

Wooden ones always seemed to work best for me. And make sure you use self tapping screws, nails aren't strong enough

Everybody calm down.

To the OP, take that rubber fist out of your mud whistle and use duct tape to affix to the frame and rear axle.
Passenger side works best as it is better able to counter the ring gear climbing the pinion. Make sure to avoid the exhaust as any heat will damage the latex, and we all know you plan on removing your traction bar down the road for future enjoyment.

Daddy must have not hugged him the day of the post

I just welded some galvanized tubing from the frame to the axle back to my trailer hitch. Kinda shaped like this \/ not only did it improve axle wrap but I had huge gains in the amount of weight I can tow. Did the same thing on my 92 hard body. Now I can tow my 30ft donzi with my hard body. And I can also move my single wide where ever I please with my ferd fteenthousand

I just installed a set on mine, new style, definitely going to take it to the market....

I took 20 ft of chain and hooked it to my tow hitch, fed it to my axle, wrapped it around the axle on the driverside, then fed it to the passenger side, wrapped it around the axle there, and then connected back to the tow hitch and also had 1.5 ft of chain left that i could hang and let drag the ground like everyone does! functional and in style

Judging by the way you ask for help these will probably be a long the line of your fabrication level.

That first pic is the setup on my truck now. I love it.

I cross mine as it also makes a convenient place to add a drive shaft loop. Im sure "tanto" will be the envy of both places of employment.
