2 Man Fab builds traction bars for drivers across Oak Point, TX. Oak Point is our closest neighbor and one of the most rural-feeling towns this close to the tollway -- bigger lots, gravel and caliche driveways, and a lot of properties backing up to Lewisville Lake. Trucks here get used like trucks: hauling trailers down FM 1385, pulling boats out at the lake, and dragging equipment across property that isn't paved. That means the wear we see out of Oak Point is real mechanical wear -- suspension, mounts, and underbody damage -- not cosmetic.
Oak Point is close enough that it's barely a drive at all. Come down FM 720 and you're at the shop in under ten minutes, which makes it realistic to leave a truck with us for a day or two without wrecking your week.
About Traction Bars
Leaf spring trucks under hard acceleration or heavy towing can develop axle wrap -- the axle twisting against the springs -- which shows up as wheel hop, spring wrap, or driveline clunk. Traction bars control that movement and put the power down cleanly.
We fabricate and install traction bars to fit your specific truck, including custom mounting brackets for trucks that are lifted or lowered, where a generic bar often won't clear or mount correctly. This is exactly the kind of job where fabrication makes the difference between a part that technically bolts on and one that actually works.
Whether you're towing regularly or just tired of wheel hop off the line, this is a relatively focused job that makes a real difference in how the truck puts power down.

Traction Bars in Oak Point -- Common Questions
What causes wheel hop in the first place?
It's usually axle wrap -- the axle twisting against soft leaf springs under hard acceleration or load, which then releases suddenly and causes hop.
Do traction bars work with a lift or lowered truck?
Yes, but they need mounting brackets fabricated for your specific ride height -- which is exactly what we handle.
Will traction bars help with towing?
Yes, they're commonly added specifically to control axle movement under heavy towing loads.
Do traction bars hurt ride quality?
Properly installed traction bars shouldn't meaningfully change your daily ride -- they control wrap, not normal spring travel.
