Every truck fresh off the factory floor has a wheel hop problem, it’s just a fact. Even at stock power levels, that annoying hopping can lead to costly damage like busted driveshafts, broken axle pinion yokes, premature u-joint failure, and excessive suspension wear. Plus, every time your wheels are hopping, they’re not gripping the pavement, which means you’re losing traction and performance. That’s where Longhorn Fab Shop’s Professional Grade Traction Bars come in.
These aren’t just any traction bars, these are built to handle serious abuse, whether you’re a weekend warrior, a dedicated sled puller, or a full-throttle drag racer. Made from massive 2” heavy-duty steel that’s twice the thickness of standard bars, these traction bars are designed for maximum strength and durability. The turnbuckle design allows for easy alignment of heim joints and brackets, while the completely adjustable setup lets you preload the suspension without ever removing the bars. The universal mounting system ensures compatibility with a wide range of trucks, the frame mounts can be either bolted onto a C-frame or welded onto a boxed frame, while the rear axle tabs are radiused to fit most axles and can be welded to the axle tube or U-bolt bracket. Installation is straightforward with simple hand tools, and all hardware is Grade 8 for unmatched strength. Designed with precision, all brackets are laser cut and CNC bent for a perfect fit every time. The nylon-injected, oil-impregnated inner and outter races (built for BAJA trucks and NASCAR) provide a long, rattle free, maintenance free lifespan. For short bed owners, the bars measure 72” from center hole to center hole, while long bed owners get 86” bars.
Whether you’re rolling up to the event in your daily driver or trailering, these Longhorn Fab Shop traction bars ensure your power hits the ground where it belongs.
