Wehrli 11-19 Duramax ECLB & CCLB 68in Traction Bar Kit - Candy Red

The 68-inch length of these traction bars is a key design choice for 2011-2019 Duramax trucks, specifically for Extended Cab Long Bed (ECLB) and Crew Cab Long Bed (CCLB) configurations. These bars are built to help manage the torque produced by your Duramax engine, reducing axle wrap and improving traction off the line. When you put a lot of power down, especially with larger tires or modified engines, the rear axle can twist under load, leading to wheel hop and a loss of grip. These traction bars brace the axle housing and connect it to the frame, providing a solid link that resists that twisting motion.

Constructed from strong steel tubing, these bars are finished in a vibrant candy red powder coat that not only looks sharp but also offers a good layer of protection against the elements. The kit includes all the necessary hardware for installation, designed to be a direct fit for the specified Duramax models. This means you won't need to do any custom fabrication to get them mounted up. The adjustable nature of the bars allows for fine-tuning the suspension geometry to best suit your truck's setup and driving conditions, ensuring you get the most out of your setup whether you're towing, hauling, or just looking for improved performance.

Installing traction bars is a common upgrade for Duramax owners looking to put their power down more effectively. You'll want to ensure you have basic hand tools and possibly a torque wrench to properly tighten all the fasteners according to the manufacturer's instructions. This kit is a solid option for anyone serious about improving their truck's traction and reducing drivetrain stress under load.
