Traction bars

I am looking for traction bar options. Which ones are good and which ones to stay away from? I am not sure if my 7" lift makes any difference or not.

I put Lazar Bars on my pickup that has a 5" lift on. the only problem I had was I didn't tighten the bolts and 2 fell out but fixed now and no problems. They are adjustable which is nice. They also made the truck ride better. It also tightened up the rear end. They were about $650 or so out the door. He also powder coats them what color you want.

You can build some like me and a lot of guys do with the top link from a tractor 3-point hitch, cut it in half and weld a heavy pipe in the middle and it is adjustable then bild you oun mounts if you have the tools. Mine cost $50 and have 3/8" wall and have been used for sled pulls and have never had a prob. Not downing any maker but I have seen pics of some $$$$ bars that were made of the same thing I used and they charged 6-700 for them. If you find a set with rebuildable ends then it may be worth it but its up to you. I plan to make a nicer set but this only took 30min befor a sled pull and have made it 6 hooks and with blocks in the rear never flexed at all watching the vid after. I have a pic in the pull forum under My 1st pull that I posted to show a guy. It also dose good with my 38x15.50 on it.
