Wehrli Traction Bar Kit

1994–2024 Dodge Ram 2500 / 3500 5.9L / 6.7L Diesel

Part #: WCF100854-CT

Overview

The Wehrli 60-inch Traction Bar Kit in Candy Teal is a vital upgrade for diesel Ram 2500 and 3500 owners looking to protect their driveline components when increasing horsepower. Designed specifically for 1994 through 2024 models equipped with 5.9L and 6.7L diesel engines, this kit prevents axle wrap and twisting that can cause costly damage such as broken u-joints, driveshaft failures, and warped axle housings. By reinforcing the rear axle’s stability under heavy torque loads, this traction bar kit ensures improved power delivery and drivetrain longevity for serious diesel truck enthusiasts.

Whether you’re towing heavy loads, off-roading, or upgrading your engine performance, the Wehrli traction bars provide the necessary support to maintain drivetrain integrity and reduce maintenance headaches.

Key Features

Engineered for durability and adjustability, the Wehrli Traction Bar Kit offers the following key benefits:

• Heavy-duty brackets weld securely to the bottom of the axle tube and frame for maximum strength
• High-quality RockJock rebuildable and grease-able Johnny Joint heim connection at the frame end allows torsion adjustment and accommodates rear suspension height changes
• Polyurethane bushing at the axle connection reduces noise and vibration compared to solid heim joints
• Grade 8 hardware ensures reliable, long-lasting attachment of bars to mounts
• Professional in-house powder coat finish with epoxy primer base coat for superior corrosion resistance—over 10 times more durable than standard single-coat powder finishes
• 60-inch bar length optimized for Ram 2500 and 3500 axle geometry
• Vibrant Candy Teal color adds a custom look while protecting against environmental wear

Construction & Design

The Wehrli traction bars are constructed from high-strength steel designed to withstand the extreme torsional forces generated by upgraded diesel engines. The weld-on brackets are precision fabricated to fit the axle tube and frame rails of Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks from 1994 to 2024, ensuring a secure and exact fitment. The use of a RockJock Johnny Joint heim connection at the frame end provides a rebuildable and grease-able pivot point, allowing for fine-tuning of the bar’s tension and accommodating suspension height adjustments without compromising durability.

At the axle end, a heavy-duty polyurethane bushing replaces the traditional solid heim joint to minimize drivetrain noise and vibration, a common issue with traction bars that use heim joints on both ends. The entire assembly is finished with a two-stage powder coat process, starting with an epoxy primer base coat that dramatically increases corrosion resistance, followed by the vibrant Candy Teal top coat for lasting protection and style.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the Wehrli Traction Bar Kit requires welding the brackets to the axle tube and frame, making professional installation or advanced welding skills recommended. The kit is designed specifically for Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models equipped with 5.9L and 6.7L diesel engines from 1994 through 2024, ensuring precise fitment without the need for modifications. The adjustable heim joint at the frame end allows for easy alignment and tension adjustments to accommodate suspension lifts or drops.
