Traction Bar Kit (long bars) Weld-on!
This is a complete custom built traction bar kit including:
* Black powdercoated traction bars, adjustable 60”- 63” eye to eye
* Weld-on brackets
* Greaseable polyurethane bushings for the axle ends
* Premium heim joints with teflon kevlar races for the frame ends
* All necessary hardware - Grade 8 or better
$350 shipped anywhere in the US
This is a “two of a kind” kit. I needed a set for my truck, and had the material and capability to make two complete sets. The second set is for sale.
This is a weld-on kit, as opposed to bolt-on. You will need to weld the mounting brackets on yourself. Basic instructions will be included, but I am assuming the buyer can handle the scope of what is involved to install these. It is very easy.
The bars themselves are made from 1-3/8” OD, 1/8” wall DOM steel tubing.
3/4-16 bungs with opposing threads (for adjustability) are rosette welded to the ends.
The bars have been powdercoated a semi-gloss black for superior weather resistance.
Bushing ends have been painted a semi-gloss black to prevent corrosion also.
I made these for my ECSB truck which has a 6” lift on it. That does not mean they won’t work on trucks with other configurations. In fact, they will have a more transparent effect on the ride when put on a lowered truck. They will completely eliminate axle wrap on any setup, but the greater the lift, the greater the stiffness they will add to your ride. On my setup, I have no complaints, it is only mildly stiffer.
The difference these bars made on my truck was HUGE. After fabbing and installing them, I had to take them off for a week to get them powdercoated. After getting used to them, the way my truck drove without them felt like ****, and I couldn’t wait to put them back on! I even picked up close to 1mpg in the city with the addition of them to my truck, but I did have a considerable amount of axle wrap beforehand.
PM me with any fitment questions you may have.
