Show original supplier description
The BDS Suspension 121618 Fixed Length Tubular Traction Bars are engineered to enhance your 2001-2010 Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra 2500HD's traction. Constructed from robust 1.25-inch OD x 1/8-inch wall steel tubing, these heavy-duty bars are designed to significantly reduce rear pinion angle changes and axle wrap that occur during hard acceleration. The tubular design not only offers a sleek appearance but also provides serious axle control. Each traction bar is equipped with durometer-specific polyurethane bushings at both ends, ensuring durability and effective energy absorption. The application-specific mounting brackets are precision-crafted from 3/16-inch steel plate for maximum strength and reliability. These traction bars are specifically designed to work with vehicles that have a lift height ranging from 4 to 8 inches. It is important to note that these traction bars will not fit standard cab/short box models. They are intended for 4WD Diesel/Gas models of the specified Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
