Default traction bars?

hey guys I have been doing a lot of reading about traction bars lately and im flirting with the idea of making my own set. im just not sure if I should do it or not its my daily driver with a few things done to it already as you see in my sig I do how ever tow a 18 ft car trailer once and a while and a homemade snowmobile trailer and do some playing in the mud and at the local strip. I have got a pretty good idea of what im going to do and how im going to build them if I decide to do it. I just wanted to see what everyone says and is doing any info would be great thanks

plenty of guys have made their own before.

I personally don't see the point unless you are drag racing with a 2wd or sled pulling.

I just have sticky 35" mud tires and they hold traction very well, even with the 576hp/1285tq I'm putting to the rear tires.

ok with what I have been reading a lot of people say its even a good idea to put them on a stock truck because how they help take stress out of the driveline and is good for towing and other things so it got me thinking about making my own set. just wanted to get some input about it first plus I got other things I need to fix on it first haha
