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.
Man it’s the little things that make a big difference. Never liked when I opened my hood and my eyes would go straight for the papier-mâché shims. Now with these things in there the engine bay looks so much better. Simple install and quality as usual. Very Happy
Absolutely love these things. I installed them like a year ago and never posted a review. Super easy to install and look sharpe as hell (even better at night). These guys do it right.
Just installed complete led upgrade....looks great....they actually dim out which surprised me...good products from obs solutions my go too for tasteful upgrades
Of all the upgrades I’ve made this one is my favorite. The braking feel is night and day difference, it’s worth every penny. I recommend installing the super duty P/S pump at the same time you do the vacuum pump delete kit. It makes it slot easier to install the P/S pump with the fan shroud removed. The delete kit doesn’t include two 18 gauge wires or splice connectors which you will need to wire the new vacuum pumps. For the price I think the kid should include these.
The light went in no problem and look great at night, the only down side was I ordered the wrong one, which is on me because I didn't realize I had the metal dome light. Only recommend to double check the kit you order. Sorry for the dirty dash, its a work in progress.
