They are bars which mount on the rear axle, under the leaf springs of a rwd car or truck. As you accelerate the torque will cause the axle rotate up at the front. The traction bar has a bump stop at the the front that when this happens contacts the front mount of the leaf spring. This contact causes the wheels to be driven into the pavement(more taction).

Finally, tighten all bolts to the recommended torque specifications and re-install the shocks.


How do traction bars work?

Traction bars are devices installed on vehicles, primarily to improve traction during acceleration by reducing wheel hop. They work by limiting the rear axle's upward movement under load, which helps maintain better tire contact with the road. When the vehicle accelerates, the bars counteract the torque reaction of the axle, allowing for more effective power transfer to the ground. This results in improved stability and performance, especially in high-power applications or off-road conditions.

What rearend swap should be used for more traction on a 93 c1500?

Tires have the biggest effect on traction. Getting wider or stickier performance tires will greatly improve traction. You have to be careful not to change the tire diameter/height too much or your speedometer will be off. Also if your rear doesn't have one, Adding a limited slip/posi/locker will give you more traction. After doing that, traction devices like traction bars/ Cal-tracs would be the next step. Your truck probably has a 10 bolt and swapping it will not give you more traction. If your truck has steep/low gears like 4.10s, going to 3.73/3.42/3.21/3.08 will reduce traction issues and acceleration but improve fuel economy/reduce highway rpm.
