01 F-250 Traction bars,Ladder bars?

[Dirtclod]

My cousin has an OBS PS @95model. He's bought some top link ends and wants me to fab homemade traction bars. I was also thinking bout making some myself for my 01. My reason is just they look cool. I don't have an issue with traction but I was wondering do these help with ride qualit or help with towing?

I've been a lil busy and haven't hD the chance todo thhis project for my cousin. Today I picked up 4 Monroe gas shocks for my 250. Last year I bought 2 firestone air bag helper springs that was on a dodge 3500. The bags are the same size as thrones for my 250 but I'll have to fab some brackets. Only problem I see that might be an issue is where the air fitting comes out. It's bout an inch long and will have to mount facing down. If air fitting is up it will hit the bottom of the bed. Faced down it will have to be off center of the leaf springs but only by an inch. So tomorrow Im going to get started and I think I'll try building some ladder bars.
