Keep the rear axle in your 2004.5-2007 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 planted under all conditions with a set of Traction Bars. If your vehicle is experiencing wheel hop or axle wrap under hard acceleration, then traction bars are what you need. Most traction bars feature a steel tube construction, with one end installing onto the frame and the other onto the rear 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. 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 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. Traction bars are available in different lengths that are depending on the cab and bed length of your truck. In most cases, a short bed truck will require a 72" length and a long bed truck will use an 86". Hardware kits and complete traction bars are available from industry leading brands like HSP Diesel, Cognito, Tough Country, Longhorn Fab Shop, and more!
