I was going to make my traction bar like that style but it's not going to
fit when I lay my rear shocks inwards toward the middle of the two frame
rails.  If you're planning on running really long shocks, think long and
hard about how you're going to fit them under your Jeep AND fit a
triangulated anti-wrap bar in there at the same time.  From my
measurements, at full compression, the bar will hit the shock.
