Make sure your rear axle stays planted in your 2017-2019 GM 2500HD/3500HD with a set of Traction Bars from XDP. If your vehicle is experiencing wheel hop or axle wrap under hard acceleration, then traction bars are what you need. Traction bar design is relatively simple, once mounted they create a solid link between the frame and axle housing to help prevent the axle from rotating. Wheel hop and axle wrap don't only cause traction loss, in some cases they also result in major component damage to driveshafts, yokes, suspension, and even internal differential parts. Most traction bars feature a steel tube construction, with one end installing onto the frame and the other onto the rear axle. Wheel hop and axle wrap occur when the stored energy in the suspension is suddenly released causing the axle to bounce up and down violently, resulting in traction loss.
Depending on your vehicle, preference, and fabrication skills, traction bars can be purchased as a bolt-on kit or universal kit that requires welding. Hop on over to XDP and get your truck back on track with a set of high-quality traction bars! Traction bars are an excellent add-on for any street performance or competition-built truck. Traction bars and hardware kits are available from industry leading brands like Longhorn Fab Shop, HSP Diesel, Cognito, Tough Country, and more! Traction bars are available in different lengths that are depending on the cab and bed length of your truck. Typically, a short bed truck will run a bar around 72" in length and a long bed will run an 86" bar.
