Product Description

The Ridetech 12297250 Traction Bar Kit is engineered specifically for 2015-2026 Ford F-150 trucks equipped with a Ridetech rear lowering suspension system. This optional but essential performance upgrade prevents wheel hop, tire chatter, and rear axle wrap during hard acceleration - issues commonly encountered with stock leaf spring rear suspensions when paired with high horsepower and aggressive tires. By stabilizing the rear axle, this traction bar kit enhances launch grip, boosts acceleration consistency, and improves overall handling dynamics for lowered F-150 builds.

Constructed from heavy-duty steel with an attractive powder-coat finish, the kit includes double-adjustable traction bars, R-joint rod ends, pivot and axle brackets, bump stops, and complete mounting hardware. The adjustable design lets you fine-tune performance to match your truck's power level and suspension setup. Installation is bolt-on with no welding required, although it requires the complete Ridetech lowering system to be installed beforehand. Ideal for performance-oriented trucks hauling power to the pavement with confidence and control.
