Traction bars are built to order, allow 1 week for fab, additional week for powder coat.
-A traction bar system designed for function and looks. Put lost power to the ground!
-Helps eliminate axle wrap in stock to highly modified trucks. High horse power engines, big lifts, and soft suspensions all benefit from a traction bar system.
-Trucks: 88-97 F-250/350 99-04 SuperDuty F-250/350 Excursion
Will fit many others. Axle brackets are designed around a 3.5 inch axle tube. Dana 80 DRW is 4" will require cutting axle mounts to fit.
2 non triangulated traction bars, 1 per side of the vehicle, 2 bolt on frame brackets, and 2 weld on axle brackets. Kit traction bars are based on vehicle length.
Additional Information:If you're planning on towing an overloaded bumper pull trailer we highly recommend airbags. The excess tongue weight will flex the brackets on the frame as the suspension is cycling and ruin them. Any trailer over 2500 pounds, 500 tongue weight will require air bags. These bars are not adding towing capacity, they are to control unloaded axle wrap.
Sky's Traction bar kit will help many vehicles by controlling the wrap of the axle, and fatigue on the leaf springs. Traction bars can save fuel by getting power to the ground, restores traction by not allowing leaf twist. They can even help save tires by less slip on the road under take off, such as hard acceleration from a stop light.
Design of the system is slightly unique as the bars are moved outside the frame in order to line up directly under the leaf springs. This helps control axle walk common to single bar systems mounted under the frame and inside the leaf springs.
Bars use polyurethane bushings and 9/16ths bolts. Brackets are laser cut CNC formed a36 PO steel in 1/4 and 3/16ths thickness. Link bars are 2" x .120 round tube with 2.25 x.250 wall DOM bushing casings.
Powder coat is only offered on the traction bars, brackets are not powder coated because they can be welded to the frame. Traction bars are built to order, this means are non refundable without a restock fee from the minute they are ordered.
The bars are super simple, and really they don't have a set perfect one way fits all install. Basically you bolt everything together, use a jack on the rear axle side of the brackets to hold them to the axle, the bracket at the axle should be vertical, hanging below the axle. Then weld those on first, using an angle finder to insure they are the same. Then the upper brackets simply slide on the frame, mark your holes, drill and bolt or weld. This must be done under weight of the truck, other wise the axle will not be positioned correctly.
We accept product returns within 30-days after you have received your order. All returns are subject up to a 20% restocking fee after approval.
Three of my AC and heat panel fasteners were broken out and I had installed a double DIN (7”x4”) Pioneer radio so this bracket needed modified to fit this large radio. I cut just above the angled horizontal bracket on each side. The radio fits fine and the bracket is robust enough without the horizontal support. OBSSolutions fabricates great parts and solves any systemic issues of these trucks so they can be made better than new.
Great kit, awesome customer service. Perfect upgrade from the old bench seats in my 88.
This step makes it easy for me to get into the bed of my 1995 F250 2wd. Instructions were easy to follow, 20 minutes start to finish!! Looks great and does what I want. Picked it up Friday at the NO BS OBS Truck Show. Thanks for organizing the show and for the terrific parts!
These steps look the best imo, and there's no denying the quality of the design and materials. They are extremely robust, and should last a lifetime, while also being very sturdy compared to the hoop steps. Cost is the only con, but I'm sure r&d plus fabrication wasn't cheap, and I'm happy supporting OBS Solutions!
Very impressed with these lights both in quality and ease of install. They’re WAY brighter than the old lights. They plug in to the original bulb socket perfectly. The instructions are easy to follow. Can’t say enough good about them!
I have been searching for my "front end" pop forever, after researching and figuring out this was my cause. Quality is great, easy install, and thankfully no more pop.
Replaced my old warn out and cracked tank. glad to have one that doesn't leak and I dont have to worry about anything falling into it.
Hard to find this kit yet they had it and got it to me quickly. Thank you
