Dual Link Traction Bar System - 1988-2004 Ford F-Series

Sky's Offroad Design Traction Bar Kit

Fits:

• 1988–1997 Ford F-250 / F-350

• 1999–2004 Ford Super Duty F-250 / F-350 & Excursion
  (Also fits other applications with 3.5" axle tubes — some modification required for Dana 80 DRW with 4” axle tubes.)

🔧 Built for Function and Strength:

Put your power to the pavement and eliminate axle wrap with this heavy-duty traction bar kit. Ideal for lifted or high-horsepower trucks, this system reduces axle rotation, prevents leaf spring fatigue, and helps you launch straight without wheel hop or slippage.

📦 Includes:

• (2) Traction bars (built to your vehicle length)

• (2) Bolt-on frame brackets

• (2) Weld-on axle brackets

• 9/16" mounting hardware and polyurethane bushings

💡 Key Features:

• Prevents Axle Wrap – Especially helpful for lifted trucks, soft suspension setups, or aggressive power output.

• Better Power Transfer – Reduces leaf spring flex and tire hop under hard acceleration.

• Fuel & Tire Savings – Less wheel slip improves overall efficiency and tire wear.

• Smart Geometry – Bars are placed outside the frame directly under the leaf springs for optimal alignment and stability.

⚠️ Important Notes:

• 3.5" Axle Tubes: Fits standard Ford axles; Dana 80 axles with 4" tubes require modification.

• Airbags Recommended for Towing: Traction bars do not add load capacity. Use airbags if tongue weight exceeds 500 lbs.

• Powder Coating: Included on traction bars only; brackets ship raw for weld installation.

• Built-to-Order: Please allow 1 week for fabrication and 1 additional week for powder coating.

🛠 Installation Overview:

• Bolt together the system loosely.

• Jack axle into position and ensure axle brackets hang vertically.

• Weld axle brackets in place (use angle finder for symmetry).

• Slide frame brackets on, mark, drill, and bolt (or weld) them in place with the truck sitting under its own weight.

This is a must-have upgrade for any OBS or Super Duty owner tired of axle wrap, leaf spring fatigue, or traction loss. Built to perform and made in the USA.
