Longhorn Fab Shop Standard Rod Ends - Traction Bar Weld-It Kit (Fabrication Required)

Nearly every Duramax has a wheel hop issue right off of the factory floor. Even under stock power levels this wheel hopping can cause extremely costly repairs, including broken driveshafts, broken axle pinion yokes, premature u-joint failure and wearing of suspension components.
