If it's a ladder bar that completely does away with the previous suspension then they may be fine as far as design but poor in exectution. But what you normally run into is a ladder bar set up with the existing components. Without a housing floater it usually puts the rear suspension movement in a bind due to conflicting travel archs.

A properly set up ladder bar will resemble a track locator that is used on the NASCAR racers (actually, it's just an old Chevy pickup truck suspension) if it runs without the factory suspension.

It's also possible that whoever installed the ladder bar did a poor job of it.
