No more hop, no more twist—just clean, controlled traction every time you hit the throttle.

Tuned For Performance & Built To Handle Real Loads

The BDS 2311 Recoil Traction Bar Kit is purpose-built for short bed 4WD Super Duty models from 1999 through 2016. Using a full-floating design, it allows unrestricted suspension travel while keeping your axle planted and stable under torque-heavy conditions. At the heart of the system are dual-stage compression springs that can be adjusted without removing the bars, giving you control over how your suspension reacts to load and throttle input. Heavy-duty forged flex ends offer impressive misalignment travel and strength, while the thick-wall steel construction ensures this kit holds up under harsh conditions and repeated abuse. Every component is designed to reduce driveline stress and eliminate wheel hop, even under demanding towing or off-road scenarios. Installation is straightforward with the included mounts and hardware, and the system integrates seamlessly with lifted setups. Backed by BDS’s reputation for quality, this kit is a dependable solution for anyone serious about traction and drivability.
