They are very bad to bend springs.
Maybe you need a traction bar like mine...

You need some sort of traction device. From experience the Duff Classics don't work to well. But they have a new bar that looks really nice.
The center mounted design keeps the bars out of the rocks for the most part and adds a little protection for the driveshaft. Another bad trait of the EB is collapsing of the spring perches. The perches will break loose and bend allowing the axle to rotate at will. This causes the drive shaft to do nasty things.

I have a set of traction bars on my rig since I have block in the rear. Consider getting larger springs and chucking the blocks if articulation is going to be an issue. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but do traction bars not place a greater limit on potential articulation than without them?
