Is there such a thing as a good, no-drill, traction bar for an 08+ F-350? I really wish Metco would make a set modeled after their kit for the Lightning.
Traction Bars?

I am looking for the same thing. Most all you see in the other forums will cost you an arm and both your legs! I know I didnt help much but I will let you know if I find something..
I'm going to talk to Metco about modifying their Lightning design to work on a Duty.
4-link is the way to go... If you can afford it. Otherwise traction bars are a good idea for lifted diesels... I never knew how much axle wrap I had until I threw my GoPro under my truck and took my 10k trailer around the block for the hell of it... Ridiculous amount of axle wrap... There is videos all over youtube showing how bad it can be.
I got my traction bars and traction blocks from a company called One Up Offroad. Love them. Makes the truck feel so much better. No more driveline shudder on hard shifts. Didn't loose any articulation either.

I have air bags on the SVTP F-350 (it's also not lifted), so I need to keep the stock blocks.
Ron at Metco used my Lightning to design the fuel rails... I actually have the first set made in a box at home. He gave me a "cleaner" set once the product was in production. I wonder if he would like to use my F250 to adapt the tractions bars... hmm. You have me thinking now!
I have seen many videos myself about axle wrap! I was shocked at how far it will twist...
I'd like to hear what Metco would have to say about taking on the project.
I like their four link but prefer the look of the OUO traction bars. Will be adding both to my '11 F-250 soon. Going to Icon stage IV res shocks too.
do yourself a favor and either talk to kelderman for a full air ride for towing, or call one up offroad and truck toyz for just the traction bars, they both are the best suspension companies in the business, and have some of the best looking kits
Not really interested in doing a full conversion or drilling the frame. A Metco upper system would be perfect.
farmboy fabrication and fabtech work well.
