Description

Simple Traction Bar Kit

Eliminate axle wrap and wheel hop while keeping full articulation and ground clearance.

This kit is designed for full-size trucks running big power and lift. It uses a pair of traction bar arms to firmly locate the rear axle, preventing wheel hop and axle wander under heavy torque — whether in sand, dirt, or on pavement. The design plants the tires without sacrificing articulation or clearance, making it ideal for hard trail use, towing, or high-horsepower street rigs. Available with 48", 60", or 72" DOM tubing lengths to fit your application.

Each kit comes complete with brackets, bushings, heims, tubing, and hardware for one rear axle. The combination of heavy-wall DOM tubing, heat-treated heims, and bushed sleeves makes for a durable setup that can handle repeated abuse while still cycling smoothly. It’s a straightforward solution to put power down reliably without stressing your drivetrain or suspension.

Great kit but both times order was missing components

The quality of this kit is amazing. It is a great value and the best upgrade if you pull heavy or drive in soft terrain. I have ordered 2 of these kits and each time a different component was missing from my order. First time was the axle side bushings, second time all hardware was missing. Ruff stuff has been good to work with on the missing stuff shipped me missing components no questions asked. Overall good experience just missing parts BOTH times is very frustrating.

Awesome

This kit is awesome, simple, straight forward, good quality all around, the heims are huge, brackets are very well constructed, cut and formed. Everything fits together as it should. Happy with every RuffStuff purchase I've made. Going on a 3rd gen dodge diesel, just have to modify the axle brackets to fit the larger radius of the axle tubes.

Complete DYI components

This kit includes everything needed to weld up some heavy duty traction bars that articulate. I will purchase this again for the next build.

QUICK INEXPENSIVE KIT

This kit allowed me to fabricate & weld my own custom traction bars with quality materials from RSS. If you're comfortable welding, this kit can save you hundreds compared to the prefabricated or bolt on kits.

Simple and functional

Work excellently. Simple universal install that was very easy. Would buy again. Thought it was a little funny that the joints I received were LH thread but obviously doesn't change function.
