Wehrli 2011-2022 Ford Power Stroke RCLB/CCSB/SCSB 60in Traction Bar Kit - Cat Yellow

If you've got a 2017-2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty and you're looking to add more power, you'll want to consider a set of traction bars. This kit from Wehrli Custom Fabrication is built to handle the torque from a hopped-up diesel engine, preventing your axle from twisting. Axle twist can lead to serious issues like broken driveshafts, U-joints, or even a warped axle housing, so these bars are a necessary upgrade when you're pushing more horsepower.

Wehrli builds these bars in-house using 60-inch heavy-duty bars. The frame-side mounts are designed to be welded on, while the axle-side mounts bolt directly to your existing U-bolt locations. For the connection at the frame, they use a rebuildable and greaseable RockJock Johnny Joint, which allows for adjustments if you change your rear suspension height. At the axle, a heavy-duty polyurethane bushing is used to cut down on noise and vibration, a common complaint with solid heim joints on both ends. All connections use Grade 8 hardware for a solid, reliable setup. To top it off, the bars are finished with a durable Cat Yellow powder coat over an epoxy primer base, which Wehrli says increases corrosion resistance significantly compared to a standard single coat.

This kit is specifically designed for Crew Cab Short Bed (CCSB) and Regular Cab Long Bed (RCLB) or Super Cab Short Bed (SCSB) applications. Wehrli backs these traction bars with a lifetime warranty against bending or breaking to the original purchaser. If you have a lift kit taller than 5 inches or a total lift height of 6 inches or more, you may need a different part number, so it's always a good idea to double-check your specific setup.
