FFS 03-13 Ram Traction Bar Kit Full Bolt On

FFS 03-13 Ram Traction Bar Kit Full Bolt On

   These parts are to bolt on our hardcore, heavy duty, no rattle and good looking traction bar set for your 03-13 leaf spring Ram truck.

   The frame brackets are built to match the look of our front radius long arm brackets.

   The axle brackets are our newest bracket that looks great, especially from the rear where you can see them the best, and are ground clearance saving and bolt on utilizing the u-bolts.

   No welding of any kind needed!

   We’ve seen all kinds of weak and undersized parts and ugly brackets, this is not that kit.

   Bar lengths available in 3 sizes based on what fits various bed/cab combinations, info in description below.

   If you have had problems with the rear axle wandering (you might not even notice till you fix it) and wheel hopping under the heavy torque, be it in the sand, dirt, or putting down a thick smokey burnout on pavement, this kit is the solution for you.

   It features a pair of arms that firmly locate your axle, and help you keep your tires firmly planted.

   They work great in conjunction with a rear lift block. (Optional FFS Lift Block) This increases the traction bars leverage against axle wrap, making a strong triangle between them, your lift block and the leaf spring, the front half of the leaf acting as an upper arm. A more flat leaf spring provides the best ride. This can also increase traction and plant power like a 4 link kit working on a proper instant center. This is somewhat vehicle setup dependent, with lift height/wheelbase being the variables, but most often works towards this goal.

   These will let you put all the traction you have to the ground without giving up suspension travel or ground clearance.
   Even without traction problems, these with firmly locate you rear axle and prevent rear wander due to road imperfections, not something you likely thought about but would notice if you later remove your bars. Remarkable difference. 

   All 03-13 trucks can use our 54” bar, but options with various cab/bed lengths also allow a 60” or 73” bar.    

   If you wish to customize, read below.

   ***The diagram in photos in the listing will allow you to decide which you want and what fits on your truck.

   Some is just preference. But others are beneficial, such as higher lift being more beneficial with longer length bars.

   The 03-13 frame bracket uses the inside and outside of the frame on a standard width section of frame rail. (Think H shaped)

Applications we are familiar with at a reasonable lift height are 53 and 60 for mega cab, 54 and 73 for cclb.
