It would be a long triangular traction bar w/ 2 points rigidly mounted to the axle housing.  The frame end should be mounted to the chassis via a shackle to allow for and aft movement caused by the leaf spring’s quazi arc path.  The shackle pivot point location will define your anti-squat %. For an example look under a late model Camero. This will de couple the torque from the leaf pack.  It will still cause some very minor twisting of the leafs but not nearly as much as axle rap or even normal driving torque and there will be very little tendency to bind.  Some people replace the shackle w/ a very stiff short shock.</blockquote>
