Part #: FTS62008

Overview

The Fabtech Floating Rear Traction Bar System is designed specifically for Ford F250 and F350 Super Duty trucks from 2017 to 2021 with 4WD. This heavy-duty upgrade addresses common issues such as rear leaf spring axle wrap, which can occur due to tall lift blocks, powerful torque engines, and oversized tires. By installing these traction bars, you’ll enhance your truck’s stability and handling, especially under demanding conditions.

Whether you're towing heavy loads, off-roading, or simply seeking improved ride quality, these traction bars help reduce axle wrap and improve traction during acceleration. They are engineered to provide a smooth highway ride while resisting the torque loads that can cause wheel hop or axle movement, ensuring your vehicle maintains better control and safety.

Key Features

Fabtech's Floating Rear Traction Bars are built with durability and performance in mind. They feature a unique shackle design on one end, allowing movement with the leaf spring's arch during suspension travel. This design ensures the bars do not bind or restrict leaf spring movement, providing a more comfortable and controlled ride.

• Heavy-duty construction with high-strength steel components for long-lasting performance
• Shackle design on one end to accommodate leaf spring movement and prevent binding
• Bolt-on installation for easy, hassle-free setup without modifications
• Reduces axle wrap caused by high torque and oversized tires, improving traction and stability
• Designed to withstand demanding off-road and towing conditions
• Maintains a smooth highway ride while providing positive resistance to torque loads

Construction & Design

The Fabtech Floating Rear Traction Bar System is crafted from heavy-duty steel with precision welding and a robust design to handle the stresses of off-road and heavy-duty use. The floating style design incorporates a shackle at one end, allowing the bar to move freely with the leaf spring's travel. This prevents binding and reduces stress on suspension components, resulting in a smoother ride and improved handling.

The system is engineered for straightforward bolt-on installation, utilizing existing mounting points on your truck. The high-quality materials and thoughtful design ensure longevity and reliable performance, even under demanding conditions.

Performance & Sound

By installing these traction bars, you'll notice a significant reduction in axle wrap and wheel hop, especially during aggressive acceleration or towing. The improved traction translates to better control and safety, while the enhanced stability contributes to a more confident driving experience. Although these bars do not directly increase horsepower, they optimize your vehicle's existing power delivery by maintaining better tire contact with the road or trail.

The process is straightforward and can typically be completed with basic hand tools. The system mounts directly to factory suspension points, making it suitable for both stock and lifted trucks.
