Home built traction bars

[k.marlatt]

Anyone made traction bars for a dually? When pulling a trailer i get some axle wrap, and it bugs the crap the outta me. I'd like to make a set since everyone wants way to much for theirs. I have a questions... Will the suspension still compress with traction bars?

Yes just use hind joints and bolt them to mounts off the frame and axle housing.
We have always used adjustable 3pt hitch arms and big heavy walled square tubing. Cut the 3pt hitch arms in half and slide it in the tubing, weld them in and then they are adjustable.

like 3 pt hitch arms from a tractor? i see how that would work, but I haul cow more than anything and ive got diff weight loads, i guess ill have to adjust them every time i load? that isnt worth a crap. is there womthing different i could do? stiffer leaf springs.

You could build ladder bars instead. Connect to the axle at 2 points instead of one (makes a triangle). Then throw a shackle at the front connection point.
