Currently there are two LAT Traction Master bars offered on eBay.
One is the bolt-on type that appears to be unused, currently bid at $175:

The other is the weld-on, which has been significantly used. It should
be obvious to the casual observer that the main long bar is
significantly bowed from being bent in compression by overload. It is a
deep design flaw. Similarly, the attach weld on bracket, and the bolt
on lower spring perch are not shown with these bent bars, and presumably
not included. Value? Worthless! Completely new and complete would
also be nearly worthless from this design deficiency and the unequal
length pivots that try to force the axle to follow two separate radii
simultaneously. Result - bent bars!.

Note, that the newly offered design replaces the original bottom plate,
rather than sandwiching it. An easier installation and idea for this
design.
