dumb idea?

I'm running out of time to build a set of traction bars.... any ideas on quick setups to hold my rear axle from twisting? I had a thought of just mounting 2 hooks on my frame and then chaining my axle on both sides. Is that a bad idea or will it work for a pull or 2?

no hook on the bottom and pull toward the rear bumper. the pinion will want to twist up under a load

so that will be healthy for my pinion then? That is the main reason I want to do something...to protect the pinion a little. I guess I was thinking the pinion would twist down..

I had no issues with no bars this year...it was my first pull and I will be adding bars but I managed fine

basicly the rearend will go the opposite way the tires are going.
here is a video charles posted up to show it a while back.
watch how much the rear end twists back down when he lets out of the throttle
