I have made these traction bars for my ranger since I have a flipped rear end. I used 2"x3" .120 wall tubing. I made the length so that the rubber bumper would hit right behind the eyelet of the leaf spring. I wanted to make the bumper hit right on the eyelet, but my 3" exhaust got in the way. It hits about 1" in behind the eyelet.

There is about 1/2" of clearance between the bumper and the bottom of the leaf at rest. They work great. No wheel hop whatsoever. It's awesome in coordination with the Eaton Posi.

Here are some pics:
