I had the traction bars that bolt to the axle tube and the control arm bolts, with the snubber ends. they were loud and they diden't help anything. I took them off after about 1 week.

I have something similar to the ones linked to above from Jegs. Mine are from Competition Engineering and they are welded instead of bolted on. This design moves the rear control arm mounting point about 2 inches lower then the stock configuration. Other then that, I do not see how they are any different from any other after market control arm. I guess the angle from it being mounted lower in the back is better somehow? Mine have made noise but they are greaseable as well. They work.
