A pair of adjustable bars that tie the rear axle to the frame so the axle cannot twist under load, which is what stops the rear tires from hopping when you put the power down.

why this one — Diesel torque plus a lift makes leaf springs wind up, and that wind-up is what causes the violent hop off the line and on heavy trailer starts. This kit uses threaded adjustable ends and rubber bushings so it does not bind up the suspension travel the way a cheap fixed bar can. Two real catches before you buy: installation requires drilling into the frame, and Rough Country says it does not fit long wheelbase or single cab trucks.

why no number is shown

A power claim does not apply to traction bars.
