Good day all,

Has anyone replaced the stock traction bars or better yet found a polyurethan set of bushings?

Do you mean the control arms or the rear track bar? These trucks don't have a traction bars.

Gotcha. There is a couple people that make them but most only do the fronts. And some only make a adjustable lower only, for lifted trucks.

Are your stock ones showing signs of wear? Not something I have seen many (if any) complaints on, especially on such a new truck.

I’m betting these rubber bushings are the cause of the infamous shudder/ shimmy wiggle at 76..

Keep us in the loop if you do find something and it makes a difference. I'm a bit skeptical though since 3500's report the same issue and that's a leaf spring setup in the rear?

Core 4x4 makes some for the rear

And they are great!

I have a set of Core 4x4 control arms (upper + lower), and a panhard bar - the rear end is planted. Solid. No wheel hop or shudder which was there on the OEM parts. Highly recommended!

I got the tier 3 version. They made them the non-adjustable style per my request as well (I am not lifted / lowered and will never be either).
