Just wondering if it was safe to haul heavy loads with my traction bars on. Ive done it a few times (about #10,000) and no problems but i was just wondering. If you think about it it seems like it would create sort of a binding effect when the springs are compressed. Just curious???

A properly designed traction bar will cause zero binding throughout the suspensions full range of motion. So to answer your question, it is safe to haul with traction bars assuming you have a properly designed bar.

As long as the ends are mounted with heim joints or at least a front shackle mount, you shouldn't bind at all.
