I'm just finishing my ladder bars up out at the shop - they're fabbed in the traditional design, heim-joint mounted on both ends. The bars themselves are 2.375" O.D. x 96" long with 1.125" threaded (L & R) heims on the end - they're HUGE!
Looks like a couple of auxiliary driveshafts....
The are completely bolt-on, from the bottom of the shock brackets to the underneath of the frame, lateral to the tranny output shaft/yoke.

Are you going to design any for 2nd gens? Bolt on? I might be interested. I'll be following this topic.

I'm going as fast as I can right now to get the 3rd gens up and in production. The one area that held me up is weight. We already have two version with different DOM sizes. The "drag" bars will be about 16 lbs lighter than the "pulling" version. After reading this thread maybe I've been a little too worried about keeping the weight down.
Right now the pullers are about 81 lbs a set complete. The drag versions are about 65 lbs a set. If anyone wants to give me feed back on weight concerns I'm all ears. Feel free to take it to pm or e-mail me so that we don't get this thread shut down. There's some good info in here and I'd hate to lose it.
