Make sure your rear axle stays planted in your 1994-1998 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 with a set of Traction Bars from XDP. Traction bars are typically built from steel tubing with one end mounted to the frame and the other to the axle. 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. 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. 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.
Depending on vehicle application, fabrication skills, and preference, traction bars can come as a complete kit or a universal kit that requires fabrication. Traction bars are an excellent add-on for any street performance or competition-built truck. Hop on over to XDP and get your truck back on track with a set of high-quality traction bars! Typically, a short bed truck will run a bar around 72" in length and a long bed will run an 86" bar. Traction bars are available in different lengths that are depending on the cab and bed length of your truck. Hardware kits and complete traction bars are available from industry leading brands like HSP Diesel, Cognito, Tough Country, Longhorn Fab Shop, and more!
