Default front ladder bar

hey guys have anyone rigged up ladder bars for the front? from axle to frame?
im thinking more for looks. to give the truck the long arm look. while still using the control arms. just think it would look tuff and if it would be ok

i am in the process of making some for my truck but its mostly for looks and im leaf sprung as compared to coils and control arms. i just think it looks odd with rear bars and not fronts. so im doing both

Itll be for looks on which is what your after... Their only needed on leaf spring front ends for axle wrap like the rears of our trucks. Your front end already has 4, whats 2 more i guess...

Front ladder bars are useless and are not needed due to the 4 bar system already in place.
