Overview
The BDS Recoil Traction Bar Mounting Kit is designed for 2003–2013 Ram 2500 and 2003–2018 Ram 3500 4WD 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. Bars are 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 a large-forged flex end and jam nut housed in 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.
