What is axle wrap and why should I care about it?

Axle wrap happens when the torque from your engine twists the rear axle housing under acceleration. This can cause wheel hop, which feels like the truck is bouncing, and can put excessive stress on your drivetrain components like the driveshaft and U-joints. Traction bars help to brace the axle and prevent this twisting motion.

Does this kit come with everything needed for installation?

Yes, this Wehrli traction bar kit includes all the necessary hardware for installation. It's designed to be a complete bolt-on system, meaning no welding or fabrication is typically required.

What is the advantage of the red powder coating?

The red powder coating serves two main purposes. First, it gives the traction bars a distinct and aggressive look that complements many truck builds. Second, it provides a durable layer of protection against rust and corrosion, helping to keep the bars looking good and performing well over time.

Product Details

If you're looking to put the power down on your 2011-2019 Duramax truck, especially if you've modified it for more torque, a solid set of traction bars is a smart move. This kit from Wehrli is built to handle the demands of a high-output diesel, helping to prevent axle wrap and keep your tires firmly planted under hard acceleration. Axle wrap can lead to wheel hop and put unnecessary stress on your drivetrain, so addressing it with a well-built traction bar system is key for performance and longevity.

Wehrli has a reputation for making strong parts for Duramax trucks, and this traction bar kit is no exception. The bars themselves are constructed from durable steel tubing, designed to be robust enough for daily driving and spirited use. The kit includes all the necessary hardware for installation, and the red powder coating not only looks sharp but also adds a layer of protection against the elements. The 60-inch length is a common size that works well for many common Duramax configurations, including Regular Cab Long Bed (RCLB), Crew Cab Short Bed (CCSB), and Extended Cab Short Bed (ECSB) models. Proper installation is crucial for these components to function correctly and safely, so be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

When you're installing traction bars, it's important to ensure that your suspension is in good working order. This kit is designed to bolt on, but it's always a good idea to have a helper and the right tools on hand. Taking the time to get the alignment and adjustment right will make a noticeable difference in how your truck launches and handles power.
