Traction Bars

I have been working with Brian @ buystiffler.com for a while now to design a really nice set of traction bars for our trucks. Lots of thought and planning went into these bars and in my honest opinion are the best bar made for our trucks.

He is offering a discount to forum members, the promo code is " f150stiffy ".

I ordered mine Friday, I will be sure to post pictures once they come in and I get them installed.

Stiffler 09-14 F-150 Traction Bars

Just my opinion, but if you think traction bars are what you need to meet your objective, you might save some money and start with base F150.

Once yours is installed please go take your raptor off-road aggressively (to give us a real world example) and do some jumping too then report back how they held up. I am curious.

These would last about 2 secs off roading. Haha!

I'd look at post 132. Those look a lot more off road friendly. Or ask @mike.s how he likes them

Here's our traction bar kit. We have over dozen out doing work on 700 hp raptors. Over 1,000 off-road miles. This kit really works! Capable Up to 20" of travel with full lock under torque.
- No loss in ground clearance (shock hangs lower)
-100% bolt on
-2hr install
-Zero wheel hop
-Full adjustability
-All chromoly
-Internal wall boxed gusset arms.
-7/8" teflon hiems
-Fluted grease able bushings

This kit is a limited stock custom item. We do keep 1 or 2 sets in stock. Shelby is a private label so they will say Rogue instead. Please call for a quote and availability.

Thanks
Ryan

Ryan those look a bit more beefy and Raptor friendly.

Did you have to post this now, LOL
How much is this going to set me back? Called already. LOL
I've been eying the one SVC offers and the one Skyl3r had custom built.

If my new custom Deavers for SC Raptors I just installed almost three weeks ago, doesn't completely eliminate wheel hop with diff locked.
I'll get to testing them this weekend should be enough time for settling. And I'm going for the 550 rwhp package this Thursday.

Anyway, I have to say those are very nicely built and from the pictures I can see that I can keep my Hellwig rear sway bar on with this setup!!!!!!!
Also like the fact that there's a shackle on the front to allow articulation of the rear for off-roading and jumping.
Think about it, the axle moves forward and backwards as the spring arches and straightens when taking jumps,
that's why there is a shackle on the rear of the spring and the front of the driveshaft has a slip yoke to allow that movement.
So these traction bars will move with the rear instead of rotating the rear and changing the angle of the drivetrain line.

Great Job, Ryan!!!! Sub'd

In fact this should be a Thread starter, maybe someone can take care of this!!!!!!!

Those are similar to these, the Stifflers are all bolt on though which is nice! One thing I like about the Stifflers is that the axle bracket locates the bar at the bottom of the axle not the front side. Having had tractions bars in the past that have located the bars in the front still allow some axle wrap.

Guess I was posting it for more of the street driven trucks. They weren't exactly designed for running across the dese

I don't have a Raptor, I have a 2013 FX2 with Boss Adjustable Coilovers, Icon UCAs, & 2" Rear Blocks. It's mostly street driven, tow my boat and do very light off-roading at my hunting camp. These are plenty strong enough for what I put my truck through.

What objective do you think I'm trying to meet? I'll tell you, prevent axle wrap and these will prevent it. There are plenty of 5,6,700HP F150s running these bars pull great 60' times and have zero issues.

I guess this post was to just show yall another option available for the F-150/Raptor but as it was noted these weren't designed for a Raptors that would be running high speeds through the dunes and jumping. They were designed for street truck that do some off roading, they just happen to work on a Raptor as well.

According to tracking mine will be delivered tomorrow!

Gotcha, think we assumed these were going on a raptor. Seems like a great bolt-on solution for a street F-150. At least we have more options. I wasn't aware of what Rogue was offering.
