1985–1997 Ford F-250 Ladder / Traction Bars
Eliminate Axle Wrap & Wheel Hop — Built for OBS Ford F-250 4x4
The OBS F-250 is a proven platform — tough, capable, and still earning its keep decades later. But put power to the ground hard, load it up, or run a lift and that leaf-spring rear end starts wrapping under load. Apoc’s Ladder / Traction Bars lock the rear axle geometry down and stop axle wrap at the source. Heavy-wall tubing, polyurethane bushings, bolt-on frame and axle mounts — fits nearly all lift heights with no welding required.
