there is way more too it then welding lengths of steel from frame to axle..and they certainly dont need to be ten feet long.
with ladder bar type links it will change your roll axis and actually create less traction. Zero axle wrap but less traction. as you throttle down you would want a weight transfer to the rear and load the tires..creating traction not lifting the rear end.
i was a 4x4 guy before a diesel guy and have learned this the hard way.
a proper link calculator should be used in a race/full performance set-up.
when the time comes for traction bars with my ride it will be 4 linked....your half way their with traction bars just loose the leafs:lolly:
