I know they're not, but scheduled 80 is strong enough for most applications.

Why would this be a bad idea? The axle can't move up with bump stops in...... soooo..... The bars in the back are there to take load off the hitch and frame.

Yep, I've had problems with my single bars bending causing a hop. Last pull I broke one and the frame was flexing pretty bad, I'm hoping the new setup will fix that!

wouldnt this cause more flex in the frame because now you are applying more pressure to the front bars with the force from the hitch being pulled down?

Non binding traction bars
my full suspension traction bars, designed for towing/pulling are on my profile truck picture album. I can post closer pictures if any interest?
