About this kit
Traction Bar Kit, fitment-checked
This two-box traction bar kit for 2003–2013 Dodge and Ram 2500 4WD fights axle wrap and wheel hop under load. It ships as a traction bar box plus a bracket box, works from stock height through 5 inches of lift, and includes shims for 3.5 in axle tubes. Drilling is required.
Hard launches on a leaf-sprung 2500 twist the axle and cost traction; this kit ties the axle to the frame to stop that. It arrives in two boxes — the traction bars themselves and the bracket hardware — and covers 4WD Ram 2500 trucks from 2003 through 2013, including Power Wagon, Laramie, and Tradesman trims. Threaded ends let you dial in length on the truck, rubber bushings keep the ride civil, and the geometry preserves full suspension travel without binding. Plan 3 to 4 hours and a drill; a downloadable installation guide is available.
