Wehrli 11-19 Duramax RCLB/CCSB/ECSB 60in Traction Bar Kit - Gloss Black

This kit includes everything you need to install Wehrli's 60-inch traction bars on your 2011-2019 Duramax truck, specifically for Regular Cab Long Bed (RCLB), Crew Cab Short Bed (CCSB), and Extended Cab Short Bed (ECSB) configurations. Traction bars are crucial for managing the immense torque produced by modern diesel engines, especially when modified. They work by preventing axle wrap, which is when the rear axle housing twists under heavy acceleration. This twisting can lead to wheel hop, poor traction, and even damage to your drivetrain components. By providing a solid link between the axle and the frame, these bars ensure that power is put down to the pavement efficiently and smoothly.

Wehrli has built a solid reputation for producing robust suspension components, and this traction bar kit is no exception. The bars themselves are constructed from strong steel tubing, designed to withstand the rigors of high-horsepower applications. The gloss black finish not only looks sharp but also offers a layer of protection against the elements. Installation involves securely mounting the bars to both the rear axle and the truck's frame, effectively bracing the axle housing against rotational forces. This direct approach to controlling axle wrap is a popular solution for diesel owners looking to improve their truck's performance and durability under load.

When installing this kit, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to ensure proper alignment and secure mounting. Having a helper can make the process smoother, especially when positioning the bars. Once installed, you should notice a significant improvement in how your truck launches, with less wheel hop and a more planted feel during hard acceleration. This kit is a well-built option for Duramax owners who demand reliable traction management.
