I dont really think they are intended for heavy duty sled pulling - the title of the thread is: Need a Value Set of Traction Bars

Thats the key, its up to you to decide how long and how/if you want to brace them.
That is one reason I havent made up a complete set because out of ten different guys that I have talked to I got 10 different answers as how they would like them to be built for pulling or drag racing.
When you say "bind" I take it you mean bend? Sounds like you put your bracing in the wrong spot to me... LOL

Maybe yours bind because they aren't well thought out and they don't articulate properly...
