Traction bars

I have a 2017 f250 with a 6 inch lift and 37’s. I just deleated the truck and the power just on the street tune pitches this thing sideways. So I wanted to put some traction’s bars so I don’t get any wheel hop. Any recommendations? Thank you

I you are running blocks instead of longer leaves I would swap longer springs in before adding a traction bar.
Tall blocks = wheel hop as the springs wind up and let go and repeat.

traction bars rock. just FYI you're gonna be able to get sideways even easier.

Is it worth it for ride quality to install traction bars on a LBCC with a 4” lift and 37s? It is also deleted/tuned

Do you have them on a 2017+ Super Duty? If so, I'd love to see how they're attached to the frame. Their website is lacking in that respect.

I have them on my 2000 model but I imagine they would attach the same way.

Thanks for sharing the photo, but the frames changed with the 2017 model ... now boxed cross section versus the older C-channel frame.

Well that sucks, that will make it harder to mount anything.

traction bars are worth it for any leaf sprung truck IMO. the difference its very noticeable.

Just weld the frame mounts to the frame, you'll never need to worry about them rattling loose :shrug:
