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

When you're pushing more power through your diesel Ford F-250 Super Duty, especially with a Crew Cab Short Bed configuration from 2017-2024, you need to make sure your drivetrain can handle it. Adding a traction bar kit like this one from Wehrli Custom Fabrication is a smart move to prevent the axle from twisting under load. This twisting can lead to serious issues like broken U-joints, damaged driveshafts, or even warped axle housings, so addressing it proactively is key to keeping your truck reliable.

Wehrli builds these traction bars in-house, and they're designed to bolt onto the bottom of your axle tubes using your existing U-bolts, while the frame-side brackets are a weld-on application. For adjustability and to accommodate suspension changes, they use a rebuildable and greaseable RockJock Johnny Joint at the frame connection. This allows you to fine-tune the torsion on the axle or compensate if you've raised or lowered the rear of your truck. At the axle connection, a heavy-duty polyurethane bushing is used to cut down on the noise and vibration that can sometimes come with solid heim joints on both ends, making for a more comfortable ride. The kit includes Grade 8 hardware for secure connections, and the 60-inch bars are finished with a durable gloss white powder coat over an epoxy primer base, which Wehrli states increases corrosion resistance significantly.

This kit is specifically designed for Crew Cab Short Bed models and includes everything needed for installation, including the frame brackets, axle mounts, the traction bars themselves, and all necessary hardware. Wehrli backs these traction bars with a lifetime warranty against bending or breaking to the original purchaser, giving you added peace of mind with this substantial upgrade.
