Wouldn't taller leafs help more than traction bars? And be a little safer?

its to bad you live in Iowa. I have some big bad ass traction bars that came off a trash tuck that I could give you. The same one I plan on putting on mine. I'll have to show you a picture.

I plan on trussing the rear end like I did the front and mounting this to the top with some 1/2" plate and them making another crossmember for the other end. I pic up my doubler and t-cases tomarrow. Super stoked but now might have to biuld a feul cell because the stock tank is in the way. Its alway something right? I have access to alot of these so if your nice to me I might be able to send you one.

Those arms are big, Railman is right u do have to have the arms almost the same length as the drive shaft or its going to limit flex.

That doubler will be sweet. For the fuel tank clearance u might be able to go with a Bronco 2 tank and fit it where the spare tire sits.
