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.
