Keep the rear axle in your 1989-1993 Dodge D250/350 & W250/350 planted under all conditions with a set of Traction Bars. A set of traction bars might be just what you need if you're dealing with wheel hop or axle wrap while under hard acceleration. Traction bars are typically built from steel tubing with one end mounted to the frame and the other to the axle. Wheel hop and axle wrap can cause more than just traction loss, in many cases damage to driveshafts, yokes, suspension parts, and differential components is common. Axle wrap or wheel hop happen when stored energy in the suspension from axle rotation is suddenly released and causes the axle to bounce up and down violently, resulting in a loss of traction. Traction bars are fairly simple in design, once installed a solid link is created between the axle housing and frame to prevent axle rotation.
Depending on your vehicle, preference, and fabrication skills, traction bars can be purchased as a bolt-on kit or universal kit that requires welding. Traction bars are an excellent add-on for any street performance or competition-built truck. Typically, a short bed truck will run a bar around 72" in length and a long bed will run an 86" bar. Hop over to XDP and get your rear axle under control with a set of high-quality traction bars!
