The factory leaf spring setup on these trucks allows the axle housing to rotate under drive load, storing and releasing energy as a harsh, uncontrolled shudder the moment the tire breaks traction. It's hard on your drivetrain, hard on your leafs, and it kills forward momentum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eOur Traction Bar Kit fixes this by controlling axle rotation and keeping the pinion angle stable under load. Each bar is machined from a solid piece of 6061 aluminum in house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe 17-4 Stainless Steel center ball joints with polyurethane bushing races give you a joint that moves freely through the suspension cycle without binding, while still being tight enough to keep the axle exactly where it should be. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAxle-side brackets are specific to \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"81\" data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003e3.5\" or 4.0\" axle tubes\u003c\/b\u003e. Please measure your axle to be sure, as certain year trucks could be optioned with either. A competent fabricator or welder can have this kit fully installed without any drilling, cutting, or custom fab work beyond the welds themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCompatible with OEM leaf springs and Thuren Leaf Springs up to 2\" of rear lift.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTraction Bar (x2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAxle Brackets (x2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFrame Brackets (x2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eApplicable Hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e","brand":"Thuren Fabrication","offers":[{"title":"3.5\"","offer_id":49655439655160,"sku":null,"price":2150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4.0\"","offer_id":49655439720696,"sku":null,"price":2150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0510\/0529\/2724\/files\/TractionBar1.jpg?v=1782333978","url":"https:\/\/www.thurenfabrication.com\/products\/traction-bar-kit","provider":"Thuren Fabrication","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
