Not crapping on this idea but honestly curious ... without any way for the bars to pivot at all, isn't this solid connection going to cause an incredibly jarring ride? I'm also not sure how it's going to articulate with the suspension as the bars are fixed length but when the axle moves it's not always the exact same distance from the front mount point of your traction bar setup.

Compare your setup with my Caltracs as shown in this thread. Here are a couple pics:





Notice how those pivot at the front to allow the axle to move as the spring compresses and extends. Now, I'm no engineer and I could be wrong, but that setup concerns me. Thought I should at least mention it, even if I'm completely wrong.
