No close ups but homemade. Very similar to PLMCRZY's, except on a 3rd gen.

Okay, don't tear me up too bad..but I gotta ask, what are traction bars for and what do they do?
(remember this is coming from a 17 year old who doesn't own a diesel...yet. At the moment I have a 99 ram 1500)

If i had to guess they would limit axle wrap under load (hard acceleration) but maybe someone that actually knows what they are talking about will chime in instead of going off of my guess.

Correct, they limit how much an axle can rotate. Im more of a fan of a single center bar mounted with a shackle. Way more flex than single bars that have 2 mounting points.
