Na, you don't need those pesky traction bars... What you need is 8 pieces of 3/6" thick (or the exact thickness of your leaf springs), cut them a little wider than the leaf springs( wide enough to drill a 3/8 to 7/16" hole in them) and bolt those over the front part of the leaf springs where the metal overlaps the other leafs.

It shows a picture of what I'm talking about. Now, my car isn't running but I did get this information from a fellow member whom has this on his car and it's running just fine.

Before you tackle the traction area, you must stiffen your frame with some sub frame connectors. This is a must if you are putting some torque and hp to the rear wheels.
