Make or Buy Traction Bars?

[LEVOY02]

I plan on doing some sled pulling this coming summer, and I am trying to get my truck setup a little at a time before then. I already have the bare essentials like tie rod sleeves, axle stops, and braces to hold the leaf springs together. I want to get a set of traction bars, but I don't know if I should attempt to make a set or buy a set. If I decide to make a set, does anybody have a way that that they did it that they would share? If you guys think it is better to buy a set, where would be the best place to buy them? Thanks,

Sam​

tractor top links and some thick wall tubing to build the most basic set, or semi trailer torque links and thick wall tubing if ya want to get fancy........
