Respect Josh as drilling through the frame is a PITA!!!! Thanks for the content man. You are the OG on Duramax content. I’ll speak for a lot of us by saying thanks for all the info, help, and tutorials.

The truck is looking great, didn't realize how much of a difference those traction bars would make. Thanks for showing us that.

Hello Duramax fam!!! I acquired the LLY unicorn last night!!! Thanks for all of your amazing how to videos. Your gonna get a lit sponser soon.. Stay the way ya are

you’re videos are very informative, i love the content man!

I have an lmm and tow a big trailer. Been debating weather or not to do traction bars. I’m now convinced!

These bars also dramatically reduce your ground clearance. Keep that in mind if you use your truck off road, these would high center a truck quickly. Great Video!

These bars in the video seem extra low to me… 🤔 I have some different brand and not that low

I’ve been running the cheapest traction bars I could find that fit my 15 Silverado Duramax and they have run flawlessly for over four years now. I could notice a reduction in lag time even just at stoplights since the axle isn’t wrapping up before applying the power to the ground and it did feel more secure in the rear. My truck is stock height and is now running a 2 inch drop shackle in the rear.

Wow, great demonstration because it has me convinced!

May have to pick some of these up soon. Just installed a 3"lift kit with some bilsteins and I'm sure these would help even though I'm nowhere near close to the hp/tq levels you're at.. love the hsp stuff I have :)

I have Pro Comp Traction Bars on my 04 Silverado and they definitely helps out with the spring wrap I had ..... keep up the great videos 👍

It is worth it ! My 2009 didn't have them but my 2015 has BDS Recoils. Huge difference ! Both of your trucks look great with them on there ! Happy Turkey Day !

Hsp is awesome. I stopped by and checked the shop out to get my traction bars today.

Have you ever looked at the Roadmaster Active Suspension (RAS) kits? Easy and fast to install, give the same benefits as traction bars, sway bars, and air bags. They won't let your truck squat under a load but do not cause a stiffer ride. I've only heard and seen good things about them and I'm definitely going to buy the kit and install it.

When do you normally grease them? Great vid Josh! Early Merry Christmas to you man👍🙏

Nice video ! It’s so much better with traction bars 👍🏻💪🏻

Wow what a difference those traction bars make,the springs hardly move now. Hey I hope my hoodie is coming soon, getting cold here in Wisconsin 🥶 Happy Thanksgiving To you and your family 🦃

My cheap fix for minimal axel wrap was putting leaf spring shackles i believe 2 inches from the leaf spring mounts towards the front of springs and tighten them down so it pinched the spring tight together and it worked well it was a heck of allot cheaper for those diesel heads with a light pocket id go this way

Man I really like what they do for the rear suspension & they look bad to the bone-my only issue w/not pulling the trigger on a set for my liLLY is ground clearance-there seems to be a sacrifice w/the things we love🙄👍🏼

Lucky you got snow coming down. Makes that fireplace just that more important.

I love the functionality of them. But my problem is ground clearance, I often times get into situations where I would be concerned about those rubbing while off road. Any thoughts on airbags? My dad is running those on his 2500 HD and they've helped the ride quality and Towing, plus they don't get in the way. Love the Channel man keep it up!

Traction bars are a must for truck pulls, I went with the Longhorn ones for my Duramax.....very stout and zero axle wrap.

Looks good! Check the exhaust connection at the axle. Looks like there’s a small leak 👍🏻

Thanks Man! I’m buying those traction bars because of you!

Big difference, a lot more than I thought you would ever get

Awesome. Looking at getting myself some for my lb7.

Getting my 75" HSP bars in tomorrow!! Got them gloss black, can't wait, they are going to look badass! I may have to wait for a little warmer weather, so I can paint the frame after drilling the fresh holes.

I got some ordered from WCFab today, cherry red powder coat, I have a blue 2018 GMC 2500HD Duramax. For those saying ground clearance might be an issue, IMO they're easy to take off if you're going to take the truck extreme off-roading 👍🏻

Funny. I had no idea how limited those valve stem caps were. Saw them on your website and decided to grab a set. Accidentally clicked this video just now

I don't understand why these trucks don't come with that as part of the suspension from the factory. Just watching the real time video think about all the twisting your saving your drive shaft u-joints and everything else from twisting and keeping everything aligned as it should be! Thanks for the video I'm definitely getting these now.

Definitely will be putting those on the list thank you 👍🏻

Man I didn’t expect those results 150% we’ll be doing that to my truck in the near future

Trac bars are required for anything bigger than a small block. I really can't believe they are not standard with lift kits. I've broken collector pins in leaf springs several times.

I have been wanting to get a set of these ever since I bought my truck but I keep hanging up on the loss of ground clearance because I do alot of hunting in the mountains with alot of muddy and uneven roads. GMs' dang frames hang low enough as it is. Anyone else have these concerns or notice a loss of places you can go after installing traction bars?

Great video I like the valve stem caps!!

Love the white with black wheels. I also have a white classic. Mines an lbz though. Never had an issue.

Is backing out the helm joints 7 turns just a rule of thumb you use or the standard? My HSP instruction didn't mention it and I'm installing a set on my L5P in the morning.

So i understand these might have been supplied to you and your channel. Can you do a video on comparison of the different brands of traction bars? Krypto, HSP, WCFab etc?

I am curious, would traction bars be applicable too a H2 Hummer?? I’ve had a look around and not found any thing related too said application! Cheers from Australia! PS love watching all the video’s🤙

Video was short and sweet. Good job.

Will worn out leaf springs cause axle wrap bc I notice it when I accelerate hard or when I'm pulling my trailers around and I have a worn out 4.7 in a 1500 ram ?

I live my track bars. When I'm towing you can feel the difference

Do they make a bar kit to fit a 1/2 ton pick up? What I'm asking is are the axle tub brackets made different? I would to have a set for my 1/2 ton. THANKS IN ADVANCE

How adjustable are track bars? I'm in a 3.5 leveling kit but have an 8 inch lift on the way. Installing trac bars before the I get my lift or should I wait till after my lift is here and on?

What tires are you running on the wife max? Also those trac bars look awesome in that color.

I like how you did the video, I’ll have to put my GoPro under my truck to see if the axle is wrapping or not but here’s my theory, when I bought the truck the previous owner put add a leafs in the back for his 5th wheel, my theory is that with the added leafs it’s keeping the axle from wanting to twist, going to video it to see but what’s your thoughts?

Very functional. And look great too. I'm getting the 75" in blood red for my victory red GMC.

“I just wanna take this time” ……. What are you giving a speech at a wedding?

Good install, The only thing you forgot was Anti Seize. It's good shit I use that shit on almost everything.

I need me some traction bars in my life lol... although my lly seems to spin both tires all the time without them. Never a 1 wheel wonder. I definitely don't like the way it looks under there without them when you give'er the beans though.

10:01 exhaust leak

Off topic and I think you mentioned it another a video but I didn't note it. What brand of tires are on the white truck.

I have an 06 lbz, just ordered EFI Live Kory Willis tunes with a 5 switch. Will I be pushing enough hp&tq for these to be worth it? Thanks!

I’ve got a question. My truck is on a 7-9” lift right now it’s on 7” and I plan on lifting it to around 8.5” if I install traction bars with the lift kit at 7” Am I going to have to remount the bracket on the frame again when I raise the lift to 8.5”?????

Ill be pitching these to my bud with a 12 silverado gasser with a 4.11 upgrade, yukon duragrip, cammed and tuned. Makes a lot of sense why punching it seems to drag.

a lot of good info thanks

Would these be needed on a 2500hd gasser? Since it doesn’t have the same power?

Will traction bars work for a 6.0 cateye? Or is it for diesels only?

Why is it so many people know more than the engineers. Some of this stuff is needed that a truck does from the factory.

Are these the 58” bars or the 75”?
