Wehrli builds its traction bars in-house and warrants them for life, to the original buyer, if a bar bends or breaks. Added power and heavy towing can twist a leaf-spring axle, which leads to broken U-joints and driveshafts and even twisted axle housings; the bars stop that wrap-up.
The axle brackets weld under the axle tube and the front mounts weld to the frame, so this kit suits leaf-spring trucks where a bolt-on kit is not offered. A rebuildable, greaseable RockJock Johnny Joint at the frame allows adjustment if you raise or lower the rear, and a polyurethane bushing at the axle keeps noise and vibration down. The bars are powder coated over a primer base coat, which Wehrli says gives far better corrosion protection than a single coat.
