1994–2002 Dodge Ram 2500 / 3500 Ladder / Traction Bars
Eliminate Axle Wrap & Wheel Hop — Built for the First-Gen Cummins & Gas Ram
You feel it the moment you get on the throttle — that shudder, that hop, your rear end squatting and fighting itself instead of putting power to the ground. Axle wrap is brutal on leaf springs, and on a first-gen Ram 2500 or 3500 hauling serious weight or making real power, it's not a matter of if it becomes a problem — it's when. Apoc's Ladder / Traction Bars lock your axle geometry down, eliminate wheel hop, and protect your suspension from the punishment that comes with every hard pull. Heavy-wall tubular steel, adjustable length, powder coated satin black — bolt it on and drive with confidence.
Fitment Note: BDS long arm kits may interfere with the frame-side bracket. The frame mount can be installed reversed for better clearance.
