Question Rancho Traction Tubes??????

Has anyone installed Rancho's traction tube set-up? I'm am intrested in some form of traction aid for my truck. It looks like these tubes would certainly stop axle spring wrap. However I can't help but think that they would also cause a problem when the leaf springs are compressed, i.e. binding the springs or trying to push the axle housing backwards resulting in bent traction tubes or mounting hardware. So if anyone is using this set-up please let me know how it is working for you. Thanks

www.rancho.com look under the traction section. It works on a priciple similar to ladder bars, but it's a single tube assembely.
