BDS Fixed Traction Bars | 3.5 Inch Axle | 2003-2013 Dodge Ram 2500 & 2003-2018 Ram 3500 4WD

Overview

Improve traction on your 2003–2013 Ram 2500 or 2003–2018 Ram 3500 4WD (with 3.5-inch diameter axle tube) with BDS fixed-length tubular traction bars. Fabricated from 1.25-inch OD x 1/8-inch wall steel tubing with durometer-specific polyurethane bushings on each end, these traction bars reduce rear pinion angle change — commonly referred to as axle wrap — during acceleration. The tubular design delivers both serious axle control and a clean appearance.

Features

• Reduces rear axle wrap for improved traction during acceleration
• Tubular design for optimal strength and appearance
• Bars constructed from 1.25-inch OD x 1/8-inch wall steel tubing
• Application-specific mounting brackets made from 3/16-inch steel plate
• Durometer-specific polyurethane bushings on each end

Installation

• Estimated Installation Time: 3–4 hours

Important Notes

• Body mount modification may be needed for Crew Cab Long Bed models.
• Compatible with 0–8-inch lift kits; however, if installed on less than 4 inches of lift, the bars will mount facing downward to allow sufficient clearance to the frame during suspension compression.
