    PRODUCT OVERVIEW:

    Our #SDHQBuilt Traction Bar Kit for the 2007-2020 Toyota Tundra is designed to improve drivability, stability, acceleration, and control axle wrap. Our kit is 100% bolt-on, 100% American made and manufactured in-house.

    KEY FEATURES:
    • Fits 2007-2020 Toyota Tundras
    • Designed to help prevent axle wrap while not limiting travel or adversely affecting ride quality
    • 3D CAD designed, engineered & built in-house for our typical SDHQ Built quality, fit, and finish
    • Designed to work with these rear leaf spring configurations:
      • Icon rear expansion pack
      • Icon RXT spring pack
      • Stock OEM spring pack
      • Stock OEM spring pack with add-A-leaf kits that retain the overload spring
      • Most Deaver sprung over packs
    • Clearance Specs:
      • Rear: 1/2" of clearance gained at the rear axle
      • Front: Zero loss of clearance if you have a fuel skid plate & 1/4" of clearance loss at the shackle near the gas tank if you do not have a gas tank skid plate
    • Works with lifts up to 6” - The 6" lift is measured at the front which will, in turn, lift the rear 4" to level out the Tundra
    • Designed to control axle wrap common with progressive multi-rate leaf springs
    • Prevents driveline damage caused by axle wrap
    • Greatly improves drivability, stability, and acceleration
    • No need to remove leaf springs for install
    • No cutting, drilling, or welding is required for install, 100% bolt-on
    • Ships powder-coated our SDHQ standard textured black
    • We include 8" u-bolts which work with most spring configurations with no block
    • Our kit is 100% American made and manufactured in-house
    TECH INFO:
    • Designed to work with the following Tundra Cab and Bed Configurations
      • Crew Max Cab Configuration (5.5ft Bed)
      • Double or Single Cab Configuration (6.5ft Bed)
    • If you are running a lift block with your spring pack now, new u-bolts may have to be purchased separately. The new u-bolts will be the same size as what you have now. We always recommend replacing your u-bolts because a previously torqued U-bolt will suffer from distorted threads. U-bolt nuts should be tightened once and re-torqued, never loosened and retightened.



    WHAT'S INCLUDED:
    • All fabricated components are manufactured in-house
      • Qty 2-Frame Mounts
      • Qty 2-Axle Mounts
      • Qty 2-Traction Bars
      • Qty 4-Shackles Plates
      • Qty 2-7/16" Frame Clamp Brackets
      • Qty 1-Complete Hardware Kit
        • Includes FK Heims
    Benefits of our traction bar kit over ones currently on the market:

    • Greatly improved ground clearance, pivot points are tucked up in front of the axle
    • Transfers energy into the frame with no added stress to the leaf spring
    • Does not add any noise, vibration or harshness
    • Originally designed for off-road use where travel and articulation are much greater than at the track, yet still performs 100% on the street, at the track, or towing.
    • Does not limit travel or change the leaf springs natural arc path or pinion angle.
    • Does not require removing leaf spring bushing for install.
    • Does not require removing the leaf springs for install.
    • Does not require cutting, drilling, or welding for install.
    • No core charge.

    We were thinking that we were going to need to make a different length for 6-7" lifted trucks (4-5" of lift in the make) but it was not required. We include 2 different length spacers that go on the bumpstop so you can adjust the engagement point to your liking. So these will fit from stock to 5" of lift in the rear.

    Should be no issue but we haven't done a physical install with that add-a-leaf set up.

    Any real world experience out there with this kit OFF ROAD yet? I'm running Icon RXT pack and shocks and after regearing am having pretty bad axle wrap on road, rubbing tires on the front of the rear wheel well/bed support bolt heads, and increased pinion angle. BUT I love how the RXT flexes offroad and don't want to limit that travel and function. I'm looking into other options as well but that's a discussion for another thread.

    We have tons of offroad miles logged with these. This doesn't limit how the leaf pack flexes, droops, or travels.

    I have 6+ Readylift lift on my truck. Basically 5.5 inch blocks in the back, can you tell me if this kit will work on my truck ? @sdhq_offroad .

    If the truck has 5.5 inch blocks on the back, that kit is closer to 7-8" of lift. A 6" inch kit typically comes with a 4". Would it physically fit, however, I do not know if there will be enough adjustment in the heim for that lift height.
