i'm wanting to build a traction/ladder bar for the cj before i go soa in the rear, but i would like to know as much as i can about them. i have been researching on pirate, but i'm never really sure what to believe on that sight. So what size tube/pipe should I use, how long should it be, should there be a shackle at the crossmember end, should it be a true ladder bar with two ends at the axle or should it be a one bar traction bar with only one heim at the axle, should heims be used or are tractor supply tractor joints ok, what size heims/tube ends, what size shackle, what size mounts on the axle. Things like this. School me, i'm listening.

whatever ed we all just know that you posted that response up so you could marvel at your own fascination of dominating the "recent posts sinse your last visit" button.

put it on the passenger side to lower the likelyhood of lifting the front left tire

Put one on each side, add a track bar, then put some curly springs on top.
