Control Axle Wrap Without Sacrificing Ride Quality

If your rear axle kicks or hops when you hit the throttle, it’s a clear sign your truck’s fighting against axle wrap—and losing. This kit will be a perfect fit for your 2009-2013 RAM 2500 or your 2009-2018 RAM 3500. The BDS Recoil Traction Bar Kit puts that power back under control without stiffening up your suspension like traditional bars. It’s designed to keep your rear end planted when it matters most, whether you’re towing heavy, launching off the line, or climbing over uneven terrain. What makes it stand out is the internal dual-stage spring system, which allows you to dial in the resistance while everything stays bolted to the truck. No disassembly, no guesswork—just easy adjustments when your setup or load changes. The design also allows full suspension travel, so you don’t lose the articulation that keeps your ride smooth off-road and on. If you want to drive harder without beating up your truck, this kit gives you the traction and flexibility to do just that.

Built to Handle Torque Without Binding Travel

The BDS 2305 Recoil Traction Bar Kit is engineered to eliminate axle wrap while preserving full suspension function across a range of lift heights. Each bar is constructed from 2-inch DOM steel tubing with a 3/16-inch wall and includes a forged flex end on the axle side for up to 15 degrees of misalignment. On the inside, dual-stage internal compression springs manage axle movement and can be preloaded or relaxed while installed, giving you a high level of tunability. The full-float design means the bar won’t bind throughout the suspension’s range of motion—ideal for trucks that still need to flex and move off-road or under load. At the frame end, the system uses polyurethane bushings paired with UHMW bearings for quiet, low-maintenance operation. The bar ends are greaseable, rebuildable, and designed for long-term durability. Installation is straightforward with bolt-on mounts and minimal drilling, making this a solid upgrade for any serious HD truck setup.
