Is your truck stock height in the rear or do you have 2" shackles? What size tires? Get me that info and I will plug it into my drawing and make some suggestions on rear bracket length and bar angle. In return, measure the bar diameter and joint size of those Stiffler bars for me.

2" shackles, 325/50/15 =28", thinking I'll remove the overload leaf to because I won't need it to fight spring wrap anymore..maybe
The bars are 48" center of bolt to center of bolt. The chromoly bars are 1.385" thick and the rod ends are .750" eye size with grade 8 bolts that are .492" diameter and has .747" inserts to center the bolts. I think he said the tubing was .120. These are the same bars he makes for lightnings. I just asked to buy them because he had done the research and the materials were pricey anyhow. it would have cost me almost as much to order the raw materials.

See the attached pic for graphic representation. You can use this to move the bars as you wish. The holes below the axle are 1" apart. As shown in the graphic, mounting the bar 3" down from the axle and inclining at 4* gives you 100% antisquat. Mounting the bar farther from the axle in the rear and farther up on the frame in the front is going to increase antisquat. It doesn't look like there is any way to mount the front of the bar below the frame (or even parallel) and retain above the 100% line.
