Tuff Country 20995 Rear Traction Bars
Product Details
Description
Tuff Country 20995 Rear Traction Bars (pair) are a purpose-built upgrade for Ford F-150 trucks equipped with larger-than-stock tires. They’re designed to keep the rear axle planted under throttle, translating into more consistent traction and quicker launches.
- Construction: Heavy-duty steel traction bars with a durable powder-coated finish for lasting protection against the elements.
- Mounting setup: Designed to mount one end to the u-bolt plate and the other to the Ford F-150’s frame for a secure, rigid connection.
- Application: Specifically intended for Ford F-150 4WD applications with upgraded tires to improve rear-end stability.
- Hardware included: All required mounting hardware is included for a straightforward, no-nonsense install.
- Installation note: Will not fit with contact or top mount overload springs.
- Performance benefit: Reduces axle hop and axle wrap, helping you gain traction and accelerate more confidently.
These traction bars deliver a tangible upgrade to traction and launch feel without altering steering geometry or ride height. Ideal for pickup owners who push their trucks with larger tires and want a more controlled, confident rear end under power. Built by Tuff Country, a brand known for practical, durable off-road and performance components, these bars are designed to withstand demanding use while keeping installation manageable for weekend mechanics.
