BDS RECOIL traction bars are built to the highest standards for the ultimate performance on and off-road. The bars are fabricated from 2'' OD x 3/16'' wall steel tubing with a threaded bung welded in toward the axle and a CNC machined end at the frame. The axle mount uses the tried and true BDS large forged flex end and jam nut to take whatever abuse you throw at it. BDS forged flex ends use a forged housing with a large 1-1/4'' -12 threaded shank, single-sided snap ring, and 1-piece flex ball for up to 15-degrees of misalignment in either direction. At the frame end, the bar uses a durometer-specific polyurethane bushing installed that free floats in the traction bar utilizing dual-stage internal compression springs and UHMW polyurethane bearings. Both ends are greaseable and rebuildable. Fully assembled the RECOIL traction bars are 55'' long and mount to the vehicle using fabricated 1/4'' steel brackets.

Bracket kits are vehicle specific. The frame brackets install by drilling mounting holes for the brackets while the axle brackets install using a set of u-bolts. The traction bars and mounting brackets use a durable gloss black powder coat finish.

Note:

• Required if you have selected Recoil Traction Bar
• Will Not Fit Dually Models
• Fits Short Box Models Only

This heavy-duty adjustable track bar mimics the shape of the factory track bar. The bar mounts in the factory locations or works with any aftermarket relocation bracket that was designed for use with the stock track bar. The bar is adjustable via a central turn-buckle. This means the bar length can be adjusted while still mounted in the vehicle. The turn-buckle locks with pinch bolts and not jam nuts that can sometimes work free. The bar itself is made from 1-1/2" solid steel bar stock that is precision machined, formed, and welded. Threads are massive 1-3/8"-12 for superior strength. The bar ends are fully welded and gusseted for added strength. The frame end uses high-durometer polyurethane bushings that are greaseable while the axle end utilizes the factory ball joint mount.

These shims are designed to improve rear driveline angle on trucks equipped with a 2-piece rear driveshaft to eliminate any potential driveline vibrations. Not needed on trucks equipped with a 1-piece rear driveshaft.
