Wehrli 2011-2022 Ford Power Stroke RCLB/CCSB/SCSB 60in Traction Bar KIT Bengal Blue

When you're looking to add more horsepower to your Ford Power Stroke, especially a 2017-2024 F-250 Super Duty, you're going to want to consider a set of traction bars like this kit from Wehrli. These bars are built to keep your axle from twisting under the increased torque, which can save you from broken driveshafts, U-joints, or even a twisted axle housing. What you get in this kit is a pair of 60-inch heavy-duty traction bars, frame-side weld-on mounts, axle-side bolt-on mounts that attach via your U-bolts, and all the necessary Grade 8 hardware to put it all together.

Wehrli uses a RockJock Johnny Joint at the frame connection. This joint is rebuildable and greaseable, which allows for adjustments if you change your rear suspension height or want to fine-tune the torsion on the axle. For the axle connection, they've opted for a heavy-duty polyurethane bushing. This is a smart choice because it helps cut down on the noise and vibration that can come with using solid heim joints on both ends, a common complaint from other setups. The bars themselves are finished with a Bengal Blue powder coat over an epoxy primer base coat, which Wehrli says increases corrosion resistance significantly compared to a standard single coat.

This kit is designed for Crew Cab Short Bed models. If you have a different configuration, like a Regular Cab Long Bed, Super Cab Long Bed, Super Cab Short Bed, or Crew Cab Long Bed, you'll need to look at part number WCF100399. Also, if you have a lift kit with a rear block taller than 5 inches or a total lift of 6 inches or more, you'll also need WCF100399. It's always a good idea to measure your specific setup before ordering, especially if you have a significant lift, to ensure the 60-inch bar length will work for your application. Wehrli backs these bars with a lifetime warranty against bending or breaking for the original purchaser.
