traction bars mockedup, will they work?

Do you think these traction bars will work well.

I am not sure if they are long enough.

Also I dont know about the mounting to the frame. I plan on drilling and tapping the frame with a 7/16 20pt (fine) grade 5 bolt, 4 on side and 2 from under. Before i drill these holes in the frame i was wanting some feedback from the experts out there, or anyone else

What possible problems do you all see? Im thinking the mount point on the axle is to close to the center line of the axle.

Keep in mind that thus far ive spent no money as these were given to me from a 2nd gen truck.
