Fabtech FT90018 Traction Bar Shackle for Ford Super Duty

The Fabtech FT90018 Traction Bar Shackle is a critical component of Fabtech's floating rear traction bar systems, designed specifically for Ford Super Duty trucks. This shackle bracket enables the unique floating design that sets Fabtech traction bars apart from traditional solid-mounted systems.

Key Features:

• Floating shackle design allows traction bars to move with the natural arched travel of the rear leaf springs
• Eliminates binding for a smooth highway ride while maintaining positive resistance to torque loads
• Barrel-end design accommodates FT1004 bushings and FT66 sleeve for proper installation
• Frame-mounted design with ½" through-bolt attachment for secure installation
• Manufactured in-house at Fabtech's advanced facility using precision laser cutting and robotic welding
• Compatible with Fabtech floating traction bar systems for Ram 2500/3500 and Ford F-250/F-350

This replacement shackle bracket works as part of Fabtech's exclusive system that reduces rear axle wrap caused by lift blocks and oversized tires, while allowing the suspension to articulate naturally. The shackle mounts to the frame and connects to the traction bar with ¾" hardware, providing a non-binding connection point that improves both ride quality and traction performance.
