would that be a on top of the leafs traction bar because I'm looking to make one the goes from the rear axel to the frame but i don't really know how long they should be or how to mount to the frame and axel
Start out with 2 top links from tractor supply, and cut em in half. I ordered 2" DOM tube from All Metals Incorporated, but you can get metal tube locally I'm sure. Ordered brackets from Ballistic Fabrication two weeks ago and still not here, not returning any emails either. If I were you, buy 2 pieces of 6-8 foot tube since you're not sure how long you want em, and cut until desired length.
powerstrokejunkie where did you get those brackets to attach to your frame and axel My truck is a single cab and lifted 4.5 inches with 35s so its a little taller than stock. I like the pmf traction bars i just don't like the price if i can try to make some similar for a lot cheaper.
you might want to consider a shackle or rubber grommet for the front mount. hard mounting bars is just a recipe for a broken bar at some point
articulation of the rear leafs will cause those bars to bind up the leafs. a shackle/grommet up front will prevent the wheel hop, but it will let the leafs move a bit
OUO uses a radius arm style bushing...kind of like the 80-96 F series used for the front axle radius arms
