- Have you been looking at truck upgrades and wondered if you need traction bars? What do traction bars actually do? Do they work? Would I notice a difference before and after install?
In this video we go in depth to show you the exact difference that BD Diesel Traction Bars can make for your truck. We show you not only that they DO Work, they also increase drivability and performance in your vehicle.

That's a great video.
I love the demo's.
Clear and precisely what I needed to see.
Thanks.
I've seen about 10 different videos now and this video explains and shows way better than the other videos...thanks
Right on! Thanks for watching!
I like that setup that actually shows the amount of axle "wrap" 👍
Love that axle jig… really adds providence to what’s going on!
Good video… nice job.
Great illustration to show how traction bars work!
Thank you. Shout out from Argentina!
Very nice explanation, thanks.
Beautiful!
Thing i really like about your trac bars is they dont hang so far down. Most bars are going to get smashed first bigger rock you go over.
Let me know if I heard correctly, weld the trackbars if on bumpy roads, gravel road, washboard kinda thing?
They work!!!!
goo video on the Exlnaton and the Amea angle showing what haening as fa as Trucks and Pulling , i just like using Factory set ups on a Truck that’s way overrated for the Task i kind of found that out by aaccident sort of by buying a One tonDually DeiselChevy to haul a 20K 5th Wheel originally and my 10K Fishing Boat but over time i downsized to a Airstream which was way lighter and to a Waterski Boat for a Lake house having that heavy Suspension without much weight on the Hitch keeps the operation so Stiff i used to add weight purposely by filling up Water tanks before a long trip to actually soften the suspension for a more comfortable ride for the passengers
Great video too, well explained.
Thank you for the post this helped me a lot
Nicely Done. Even a gas burning truck driver can get it.
Can I install traction bars with airbags? Or will they interfere with each other, mounting wise also. Need traction bars for unwanted twisting of leaf springd and airbags for leveling truck under heavy loads.
Great video! Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!
I like the simplicity of them.
Good video

Can I make it work on 2014 tundra
Can you explain more about the arc of the spring and the arc of the traction bars?
We designed the traction bars to best follow the arc of the axle travel. As the suspension travels, the leaf springs length will grow (during compression), and shrink (during droop). This causes the axle to travel a unique arc path. We designed the length and mounting point for these traction bars to best follow this unique path, to ensure the bars don’t bind the suspension, and only resist axle roll.
What is the difference between traction bars and trailing arms?
Will these fit a 2008 ram 1500 hemi? I see you only have the 2500 and 3500 listed as fitting on the site.
These are not available for 1500 currently
I've been having a shit load of trouble with my carrier bearing failing. I've replaced it so many times now. I was told by someone I would like to trust that axle wrap can do it. But honestly when I look at the rubber on the carrier bearing after it fails. It looks like forward and back movement is what is killing them. Didnt look like much forward and back movement on that driveshaft in the video. BD Diesel, could you lend an opinion?
Its hard for us to diagnose something without seeing it, and we cant speak to the performance of non-BD parts. We recommend taking it to a shop to have it properly inspected
@@BDDieselPerformance i guess what I was asking was, can axle wrap cause forward and back movement in the driveshaft?
@@BDDieselPerformance how much HP was this truck at?
@@claytonbourne8967 Potentially. this would depend on alot of factors such as if the truck as lift, pinion angle etc. Again hard for us to say for sure without being able to see the truck. Best to do some research to see what other peoples experiences have been with your specific make/model of truck
Do you have anything for a Ford F 350 dually(CC, LB) with 8 inch lift kit?
Who makes traction bars for 2019 Nissan Titan SL??
Does the reverse happen during engine braking? As in the axle will start rotating down instead of up.
When you decelerate, yes the axle will do the opposite and try to rotate downward. The traction bars will also hold in this direction.
biting into the axel? will that cause premature wear?
Anything can be worn out and have wear and tear....my guess is that you could always unhook it and re-weld the groves and gouges and the cuts it will make and then hook it back up....That's about the only thing that I can think of.
I have a 2009 F150 I need rear traction bars do you guys carry anything for that vehicle
How do they work with coil spring applications ?
Traction bars are not needed if your have coil springs.
@@BDDieselPerformance do yall make anything that helps with the wheel hope on the 2014 and up ram 2500 with coil springs?
@@squirrell500 use less throttle
squirrell500 Bald tires help with hop.
If you have coils then you have a 3 or 4 link and don’t have axle wrap
Who tows a pickup on the dovetail of a trailer?
will it work on 2018 ram 2500 with air bags?
Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, it won't work because the Ram 2500s after 2014 came with a rear four-link suspension, which is not compatible with traction bars. Wish we could have been more help.
Wcfab make way nicer ones and powder coat over 75 different colours
"the don't bind up"
*Never explains how they don't bind up...
That style of traction bar will always bind up under articulation, droop, compression
Leaf springs do not follow the same arc as a rigid bar on a pivot
What’s the price on a set for a 1996 Dodge 3500?
About $3.50
not a good solution, rear leafs axle movement is straight up and down, but your traction bar end require circle movement, finaly this situation during larger movement will cut off bolt on one or another side and could lead to car accident or damage
myccielab Have you seen the BDS traction bars? They seem to have an answer to your statement.
Leaf springs do not move straight up and down. They actually have a little bit of an arc that they follow because of the shackles as the suspension loads/unloads. If made correctly the traction bars can follow this same motion. Or another common fix is ladder bars, which are basically two bars welded into a V that mount above and below the axle and are connected to the frame through a shackle which allows the rear suspension to move without any rotation.
How much do they weigh?
820$ plus tax and shipping for something ive seen made the night before an event for free...
In order for me to make something like this I need way more than $1000 in tools and materials in order to make something once
Looks to be NON FUNCTIONING the pinion travel looks the same
looks like you are blind. they clearly help. re watch and tell us how much you see the bar move before the traction bars are installed.
@@craig4926 I think his problem is he looked at the overall sweep on the vertical bar and didn't pay attention to how little the angle of the horizontal bar changed after it was installed.
