Description
Improve traction on your 2003-2013 Ram 2500 or 2003-2018 Ram 3500 4WD without limiting wheel travel with a BDS Recoil Traction Bar Mounting Kit, made with heavy wall construction and internal compression springs that can be loaded or unloaded while installed on the vehicle to control axle wrap. Full float design for bind-free performance and can be installed with a range of lift heights.
Fabricated from 2-inch OD x 3/16-inch wall steel tubing with a threaded bung welded in toward the axle and a CNC-machined end at the frame. Axle mount uses BDS's ultra-durable large-forged flex end and jam nut. Using a forged housing with large 1-1/4-nch x 12 threaded shank, a single sided snap ring and 1-piece flex ball, the flex ends are capable of up to 15 degrees of misalignment in either direction. At the frame end the bar uses a durometer specific polyurethane bushing and free floats in the traction bar utilizing a pair of dual stage internal compression springs and UHMW polyurethane bearings.

The BDS Suspension BDS122408 Recoil Traction Bar Bracket Kit is meticulously engineered for 2003-2013 Dodge Ram 2500 and 2003-2018 Dodge Ram 3500 4WD models, specially designed for lifted vehicles ranging from 0-6 inches. This innovative kit significantly enhances traction without restricting wheel travel, meeting the performance demands of serious off-road enthusiasts and daily drivers alike.
Constructed from robust 2-inch OD x 3/16-inch wall steel tubing, this kit features a threaded bung that welds directly to the axle and a CNC-machined end for a secure connection to the frame. The axle mount incorporates BDS’s ultra-durable large-forged flex end, guaranteed to provide up to 15 degrees of misalignment, ensuring effective handling of extreme challenges. The design utilizes dual-stage internal compression springs, allowing on-vehicle spring preload adjustments to tailor your setup to specific needs.
The full floating design prevents bind during the complete range of wheel travel, advancing suspension articulation while maintaining peak axle wrap control. Each traction bar end is designed to be greaseable and rebuildable, contributing to prolonged durability and performance. Installation is straightforward, with mounting brackets that are primarily bolt-on, needing only minor drilling for the frame mount.
This kit requires the Universal Traction Bar Box Kit (sold separately) and may necessitate modifications to the DEF tank skid plate for 2013-2017 Dodge 3500 models. The anticipated installation time is approximately 3-4 hours. Upgrade your vehicle’s traction capabilities with the BDS Recoil Traction Bar Bracket Kit, merging strength and innovative engineering for an exceptional off-road driving experience.
