Check out the traction bar system from Genuine USA Truck. They've got a unique system that integrates them into a rear block, requiring no brackets to be welded onto the axle or frame.

They can custom make them to your specifications.

Building custom ladder bars and keeping lift blocks.

What makes it worse is that they went so far as to integrate the trac bars into the blocks.

Have you considered a shackle flip? I did this when I went from a 10 to 14 bolt. It eliminates the block and axle wrap as the rear suspension has better flex to it than with the block setup.

I didn't like them at first either, and I thought they were goofy. But Chad had some made for this Duramax, and they've worked great.

I don't have a sway bar I have a two door Tahoe and didn't think it was necessary. The rear end has more play but it is by no means sloppy.

But why use blocks at all? If you've got money to blow on custom trac bars I think you can afford a shackle flip or lift springs.

Some people don't want to lose the factory ride quality or towability.
