Default Ladder / Traction Bars

After the trip to TS hauling TJ's truck I could really notice some severe axle wrap. I have read a ton of threads about them and was looking for some advice from the experienced people on DB. I know that whatever I get I still need to be able to put my truck on a lift with the step bars installed. I like the look of ladders better than the single bar, but what would work better in my situation. I will not sled pull with this truck, probibally never make a pass down the track, but do tow heavy on ocasion. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Travis

I been ponderin this project to after I get everything else done. I was lookin at attaching them to the U-Bolts with a second nut and then a Heim joint to a bracket attached to the frame, just to make things simple.
