Wehrli 14-18 GM 1500 Truck RCLB/CCSB/SCSB Traction Bar 60in Long - Fine Texture Black

If you're planning to add more power to your 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, you'll want to consider a set of traction bars like these from Wehrli Custom Fabrication. When you significantly increase horsepower, the force can twist your rear axle, potentially leading to broken driveshafts, U-joints, or even damaging the axle housing itself. These traction bars are built to bolt onto the frame and axle, effectively controlling that axle twist and keeping your drivetrain safe.

Wehrli builds these bars in-house, and they come with a lifetime warranty against bending or breaking for the original purchaser. The frame-side brackets are designed to be welded on, while the axle-side mounts bolt directly to your existing U-bolt locations. For the connection point at the frame, they use a high-quality, rebuildable, and greaseable RockJock 'Johnny Joint' heim. This allows for adjustments if you change your truck's ride height or want to fine-tune the torsion on the axle. At the axle end, a heavy-duty polyurethane bushing is used to help cut down on the noise and vibration that can sometimes come with using solid heim joints on both ends. All connections use Grade 8 hardware for solid mounting.

To ensure these bars hold up against the elements, Wehrli applies a two-stage powder coating process. They start with an epoxy primer base coat, which significantly increases corrosion resistance, before applying the fine texture black finish. This kit is designed for Regular Cab Long Bed, Crew Cab Short Bed, and Standard Cab Short Bed models of the 2014-2018 GM 1500 trucks.
