Thumbs up Homemade traction bars

The square tubing is 1-1/4" and 1/8" wall, the axle brackets are welded into place , I machined bushings for a tight fit of the 5/8" thru bolts

The front idler is mounted from frame rail to frame rail and alows for movement of the axle as the suspension works and the bars have a pivot about 1 foot back from the hanger that allow for twisting of the frame while ditching on angles.
