I have researched on every site i know of and i cant seem to find ladder bars for my truck i plan on building some custom ladder bars for the suspension lift i plan on doing soon any suggestions on how to build it let me know
 
I'm not gonna do all your homework for ya but I'll get ya started (search pirate). you can get away with building a single, ladder style arm and mounting it closer the center of the axle. the main thing to keep in mind is that a leaf sprung suspension setup doesn't follow a perfect arc as is cycles. so, run the arm from the axle up to a crossmember that you'll make. to prevent binding, you need to mount the arm to the crossmember one of 2 ways: a) with a shackle or b) with a slip joint. you're gonna have to search alittle to find out what size tube to use, the exact design you wanna go with etc but this should get ya started
