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

This kit from Wehrli includes a pair of 60-inch traction bars, designed to fit 2011-2019 Chevrolet and GMC Duramax trucks with Regular Cab Long Bed (RCLB), Crew Cab Short Bed (CCSB), or Extended Cab Short Bed (ECSB) configurations. Traction bars are crucial for managing the immense torque produced by these diesel engines, especially when towing or under heavy acceleration. They work by preventing axle wrap, which is when the rear axle housing twists under load, leading to wheel hop and a loss of traction. By providing a solid link between the axle and the frame, these bars help ensure that power is put down effectively and smoothly.

Wehrli has built these traction bars with durability and performance in mind. The bars themselves are constructed from strong steel tubing, and they feature a semi-gloss black finish that offers a clean look while providing a layer of protection against the elements. The kit comes complete with all the necessary hardware for installation, making it a straightforward process for most mechanics. This means you get everything you need to get your truck handling power more efficiently and reducing unwanted axle wrap.

Properly installed traction bars can make a notable difference in how your truck launches, especially when you're towing a heavy load or have modified your engine for more power. They help maintain tire contact with the road, which is essential for both performance and drivability. This kit is a solid option for Duramax owners looking to improve their truck's traction and reduce the stress on their drivetrain components caused by axle wrap.
