Why not keep looking for a set of nicer unrestored bars to stay with the theme? You are only interested in this style? Second question, what is the presumed benefit of unequal length traction bars?

Because I am a tightass and I have these and thought they would work for my setup. I've had others over the years and sold them. I like them as they are unique. From my understanding due to the pass side axle receives the initial power that the thought of moving the snubber location further up the spring would benefit more. Obviously it didn't last that long in production as there was no real signs it made a difference. I have another set that a friend gave me years ago and they were both lengthened towards the eye of the spring but once I purchased these I decided to give those back to my buddy.
I do need to find a pair of the twisted plates and J bolts for this style mount as this was before the strap was added to Lakewood bars. So if anyone has a pair and interested in selling them please pm me.

Small updates.
Photos 986 - 987 - Installed a new ET decal on the diff cover Photo 988 - Found the photo of the traction bars from when I first purchased them. As you can see they needed a little help. Photos 989 - 996 - As you will notice I did not go with the majorty pick of yellow. Sorry but I like being different. I took Mello's comment to heart and I "aged" the bars to hopefully look more the part and style of the car. Photos 997 - 998 - Test fit of one of the bars. Obviously I do not have it tight or adjusted yet. It was purely mockup and to see how well I will like the bars on the car. At the end of the day I am happy with the look and to be perfectly honest that's all that really matters.

Thanks. The "hammertone" I previously THOUGHT was on these bars was actually pitting.. A little sanding, body filler, sanding, primer, filler, sanding, paint and "aging" was how I got to the end result.
