BDS Recoil Traction Bar Mounting Kit | 2020-2026 Chevy Silverado & GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD SRW

Overview

The BDS Recoil Traction Bar Mounting Kit is designed for 2020–2026 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD Single Rear Wheel (SRW) trucks. Built with heavy wall construction and internal compression springs, this kit controls axle wrap without limiting wheel travel. The full float design delivers bind-free performance across a range of lift heights. The bar is fabricated from 2-inch OD x 3/16-inch wall steel tubing with a threaded bung welded toward the axle end and a CNC-machined frame end. The axle mount uses BDS's large-forged flex end and jam nut, featuring a forged housing with a large 1-1/4-inch x 12 threaded shank, a single-sided snap ring, and a 1-piece flex ball capable of up to 15 degrees of misalignment in either direction. At the frame end, a durometer-specific polyurethane bushing free-floats within the traction bar via dual-stage internal compression springs and UHMW polyurethane bearings.

Features

• Adjustable axle wrap control using dual-stage resistance springs
• Full floating traction bar design will not bind throughout the full range of wheel travel and/or hinder suspension articulation
• Spring preload can be adjusted on the vehicle without disassembling the traction bar
• Traction bar ends are greaseable and rebuildable
• Mounting brackets are bolt-on, only requiring minor drilling for frame mount installation
