Default GMT 900 Traction Bars?

Does anyone make GMT 900 Traction Bars? Any downside to towing with traction bars?

The latest models I find them for on their website is the following model.

Part # 3400
Description 99-06 C1500

Will this kit fit the 2007 to 2010?

I emailed calvert racing about 2 months ago and asked them if they had any caltracs for the nnbs. they told me that the nbs 99-06 flip kit version caltracs would work on the nnbs trucks w flip kit. I questioned the guy who I was talking to about any differences and he said he had them on his 08 nnbs rcsb and i had nothing to worry about. So idk but i would call them and make sure if your really interested.

These are the two emails I got from them.....

"Part # 3404 work up to the 2010 C-1500 truck with a flip kit. Cost is 369.00 plus shipping."

And.....

"I've put them on a 07-08 C-1500 and from what I can tell on the dimension the 2009-2010 has the same specs. You can verify the front spring length of 33.50" from the center of the front spring eye back to the center on the rear axle bottom."
