Red, White, and Built Right πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Take control of axle wrap and wheel hop with our heavy-duty traction bars engineered for your OBS Ford. Designed to fit the 1985–1997 F-250 4x4, these bars provide the traction and stability your truck needs for towing, off-roading, or high-torque launchesβ€”without compromise.


πŸ”° Key Features

🟩 Tailored Fitment: Engineered specifically for 1985–1997 Ford F-250 with rear leaf spring suspension
🟩 Heavy-Duty Tubing: Built from thick-wall steel for superior strength and long service life
🟩 Polyurethane Bushings: No noisy heimsβ€”just quiet, durable performance
🟩 Axle Wrap Elimination: Keeps your rear axle stable under hard acceleration or load
🟩 Bolt-On Axle Brackets: No welding requiredβ€”installation is straightforward with included brackets
🟩 Bolt-On Frame Mounts: Uses precision brackets with polyurethane bushings for a solid yet forgiving connection
🟩 American Made: Built in-house using quality materials and craftsmanship
🟩 Durable Powder Coat Finish: Protective and professional


πŸ“¦ What’s Included

  • Left and right traction bars

  • Axle-side bolt-on mounting brackets

  • Frame-side bracket assemblies with polyurethane bushings

  • Grade 8 hardware for frame-side installation

  • Step-by-step installation instructions


πŸ› οΈ Installation Details

  • Install Time: ~2–3 hours

  • Tools Required: Standard hand tools and a drill

  • Skill Level: Intermediate

⚠️ Note: Only bolt-on axle brackets are included. Frame-side mounts are also bolt-on. Some drilling is required. Factory hardware is not reused.


βœ… Fitment

  • 1985–1997 Ford F-250 (4x4 models only)

  • Supports nearly all lift heights

  • For use with leaf spring rear suspension only


πŸ”§ Why Upgrade?

Axle wrap leads to wheel hop, traction loss, and driveline wearβ€”especially with bigger tires or heavy loads. These traction bars prevent unwanted axle rotation and keep your rear end planted and predictable, whether you're towing, off-roading, or just driving hard.
