Wehrli Traction Bar Kit

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

Part #: WCF100854-IP

Overview

The Wehrli 60-inch Traction Bar Kit in Illusion Purple is engineered specifically for Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models equipped with 5.9L and 6.7L diesel engines from 1994 through 2024. Designed to combat axle wrap and twisting caused by increased horsepower and torque, this traction bar kit is an essential upgrade for diesel truck owners seeking to protect their drivetrain components. By stabilizing the axle under heavy load, it prevents damage to u-joints, driveshafts, and axle housings, ensuring reliable power delivery and longevity.

Ideal for diesel enthusiasts who have modified their trucks for enhanced performance or those who frequently tow or haul heavy loads, this kit delivers durable support and improved traction without compromising ride quality.

Key Features

Built with precision and durability in mind, the Wehrli Traction Bar Kit offers the following key features:

• Heavy-duty brackets that weld securely to the bottom of the axle tube and frame for maximum strength
• RockJock rebuildable and grease-able Johnny Joint heim connection at the frame end for torsion adjustment and accommodation of rear suspension height changes
• Polyurethane bushings at the axle connection to reduce noise and vibration commonly associated with solid heim joints
• Grade 8 hardware for superior fastening strength and reliability
• Professional in-house powder coat finish with an epoxy primer base coat for enhanced corrosion resistance—over ten times greater than standard single-coat powder finishes
• Striking Illusion Purple color for a custom, high-quality appearance
• 60-inch bar length optimized for Dodge Ram 2500/3500 diesel applications

Construction & Design

The Wehrli traction bar kit is constructed from high-strength steel components designed to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use. The weld-on brackets ensure a solid, permanent connection to both the axle and frame, eliminating flex and movement that can lead to drivetrain damage. The use of a RockJock Johnny Joint heim connection at the frame end allows for precise adjustment of torsional forces on the axle, accommodating suspension modifications such as lifts or lowering.

At the axle end, a heavy-duty polyurethane bushing is employed to minimize noise and vibration, enhancing ride comfort without sacrificing durability. The entire assembly is finished with a two-stage powder coat process, starting with an epoxy primer base coat that significantly improves corrosion resistance, followed by the vibrant Illusion Purple top coat for lasting protection and style.

Installation & Fitment

This traction bar kit is designed for direct fitment on Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 diesel trucks from 1994 to 2024 with 5.9L and 6.7L engines. Installation requires welding the brackets to the axle tube and frame, making professional installation or welding experience recommended. The adjustable heim joint allows for fine-tuning to match your truck’s suspension setup, whether stock or modified.
