Any idea of maker ?

WOW....they look Rode Hard and Put away Wet.

The bends in the middle with a super long body and bracketry suggest Fabricated ... Home made for ease of understanding.
The upright bend and length suggest an attempt to get the snubbers up tight to the spring eye. And VERY DANGEROUS With
NO DECELERATION clamps up front.
When you let off or unload the bars when slowing down or stopping the front wants to nose dive into the pavement ! Hence the term, deceleration clamps.
I have only seen stuff like this custom fabbed for a one off set up.

Any other ideas guys ???

What year car & model were they off of

F body's and Mopars don't have springs that long, I don't think.
Fords???
Tri-5 Chevy ?

Were these possibly swap meet or garage finds ?

If the Traction Bars are LOADED,all the time {like the way I like them},you won't need the clamps up front{so called deceleration clamps}. Also I can't see the ends but the long boxed bars have rounded corners so its thick not thin tin bar's. The bend in the bars is so they fit the car. A custom fabricated piece.
