Not exactly ladder bars, but not slappers either. Picked these up used and made my own bracket for the front. Rear mount just mounts above the spring plate. I'm sorry I can't remember the name of these. Guy I bought them from had them mounted to the stock spring mounts. If you have a 4wd application this is probably not what your looking for. Should control some axel wrap though.

Haus, those are good for 4x4's i had a set on my 77, it was lifted, the less hanging under the axles the better

Haus,

Those looks good. I am going to have to make a pair for my '67. I need something to help with the wheel hop!

I may have a tendency to overbuild...

That front mount is just a 90, some triangles on the sides would keep it from bending. A third bolt aft of the mount would keep it from pivoting across the two bolts in front. (unless there's more bolts I'm not seeing)

The bolt on the rear mount is being used in a single sheer fashion. A second bracket on the outboard side would help spread the load on the bolt out.

The extra holes in the rear bracket are very cool.

Are those dropped I-beams up front?

Yes I have drop beams in the front. Figured I'd make the rear axel match so its powder coated the same color. The 90 bracket you see is made of some extremely heavy angle iron. There are only 2 bolts on each one. I'm fairly certain those are grade 8 bolts. I didn't know how much pressure these would have to handle, but I gured two was enough.

Looks like they heard you about the bracket on both sides. This company has something similar to mine.

Those are the exact mods I am going to do.
