Keep Your Truck Planted When It Matters Most

When you put serious torque to the ground, the last thing you want is axle wrap stealing power and stressing your driveline. That is where the McGaughys 52420 Traction Bar Kit steps in, giving your 2020–2025 Silverado or Sierra 3500HD short bed the stability it needs under heavy throttle. These bars help lock down your rear axle, keeping it in place whether you are towing, hauling, or just flexing your truck’s muscle on the street. The difference is noticeable the first time you put your foot down, the truck stays more composed, and you feel the power going where it belongs. Built to handle the demands of both gas and diesel models, this kit provides the extra confidence you need when pushing your truck to its limits. With everything included for installation, from brackets to stainless steel inserts, it is a complete upgrade that works as hard as your truck does. If you want a more controlled ride and the peace of mind that your rear suspension is under control, this traction bar kit is worth every penny.

Designed To Work With Strength And Precision

The McGaughys 52420 Traction Bar Kit is engineered specifically for 2020–2025 Silverado and Sierra 3500HD short bed trucks, offering a precise fit for both 2WD and 4WD models. Each kit comes raw in bare metal, giving you the flexibility to finish it in paint or powder coat to match your truck’s style. Inside the box you’ll find 60.25-inch traction bars, frame and axle brackets, shackle mounts, bushings, and sleeves, along with stainless steel inserts and quality hardware. These components are designed to eliminate axle wrap and reduce wear on your driveline when under heavy load. While the kit is intended to pair best with McGaughys lift systems, it can be used with other brands, though slight modification may be required. For trucks running additional rear lift shims, longer u-bolts may be necessary to complete installation. Built with durability in mind and backed by McGaughys’ reputation for quality suspension parts, this traction bar kit ensures your heavy-duty GM stays tight and controlled where it matters most.
