Description
The Classic Traction Bar is engineered for simplicity and effectiveness. Positioned above the springs, this bar prevents snagging on obstacles during off-road excursions. Please note, it is not compatible with overload springs.
This product incorporates polyurethane bushings and features a robust welded design that is finished with a black coating for durability. Traction bars are critical for maintaining axle alignment during acceleration and braking, enhancing both traction and directional stability, particularly in lifted vehicles. They play a significant role in minimizing shackle and driveshaft failures during demanding maneuvers such as hard acceleration and hill climbs, while also reducing the risk of broken springs caused by uneven surfaces and substantial loads.
Essential for Bronco enthusiasts engaged in sand dune adventures or mud bogging, the Classic Traction Bar effectively mitigates wheel hop and axle rotation—often referred to as the “Bronco clunk.” When paired with our double shocks and high-strength U-bolts, these bars considerably lessen the likelihood of U-joint breakage.
For those seeking increased performance under extreme conditions, consider our heavy-duty torque tamer #5326.
Fitment:
– 1966-79 Bronco
– 1967-79 F-Series
Understanding axle wrap is crucial; it occurs when the rear axle rotates within the U-bolts, leading to wear on the driveshaft and associated components. The “Bronco clunk” is a result of the driveshaft’s abrupt positional changes during acceleration, caused by this axle rotation.
We offer flat rate shipping of $25 within the USA for standalone orders.

Hi guys,
So I couldn’t be happier with my traction bars!
I have a 1971 F100 short box that I recently pulled the 300 six out and put in a warmed up 351 Windsor.
The wheel hop I was getting was brutal so I found your product on the internet and decided to give it a try to alleviate my hop problem.
Installing was very easy however due to my truck being lowered, I couldn’t mount exactly as was shown in the diagram. I had to mount the front bracket sideways and install the bar on the outside of the rear bracket. This allowed the clearance needed for suspension travel so the bat would not contact the support on the underside of my box.
The difference was incredible.
Virtually Zero wheel hop.
I say virtually as they’re still was a small amount of hop. More of a small shudder really. But that’s understandable considering the tires I am running the super sticky Nittos, and it is a leaf spring suspension after all.
So a big thanks to you all for making my burnout a huge success!!
I will definitely recommend this product!!

Thanks for the solution for the Big Bronco! These fit my 1978 perfectly and eliminated my pinion shake/axle wrap problem. No issues with articulation on my Deaver springs either, suspension still gets full droop and flexes nicely.
