OUO or PMF for traction bars???

CMCx2012 · May 29, 2015

Not sure if this is the correct place for this thread, so I apologize if this was in fact supposed to be in "Suspension.."

I am trying to decide whether or not to go with the OUO traction bars over the PMF. I heard mixed things about PMF, such as squeaks later on such...

Help me out with comments and opinions, and take a crack at the poll!

ouo on all our trucks.

My dads 6.7 has had ouo bars for about 170k. He tows quite a bit and has never had any problems with them. They have never squeaked or rattled.

I have OUO bars on my truck definitely a mod I should of done a long time ago. But next is OUO ala's.

OUO on all of our vehicles as well. Very hard to beat the quality and craftsmanship behind every single kit.

Call us for pricing/availability. Most products can ship same day.

40k miles on my PMF bars and no squeaks.... I love all of my PMF stuff, and I'm on my second complete lift from them. The craftsmanship is awesome as well, very solid pieces and the welds are works of art! And they'll continue to get my money as long as I have something to put their parts on.

I've had both and loved them both can not say a bad thing about either set.

OUO............and ALAs

ALAs - OUO. Their fit and finish is second to none.

Noow on the traction bars: I think there's a difference in how the overall truck reacts in every day situations. My opinion, and I restate, my opinion - the truck reacts better to overall daily on-road driving better with floating traction blocks. The down side is the OUOs are more asteticaly pleasing. Especially if you don't have running boards.

OUO no question.

Almost 80k miles, 2 trucks, and towing upwards of 42k lbs gross and not a single issue or noise out of my OUO bars. I won't run anything but OUO bars on my trucks now.

Flexing across terraces and towing.

Great feedback, thanks!

My order is in for the OUO bars, with the ALA's later down the road. I am only 2.5" leveled..

Are the majority of the OUO TB users going with short gusset?

WHY NOT · May 31, 2015

I have long gussets on my truck because I think they look cool.

gfulton · May 31, 2015

Long gussets here........

CMCx2012 · May 31, 2015

I just ordered the long gussets too!

Wouldn't it be the other way around?? I can't break loose now I think due to axle wrap...

Isn't that what it say. Pre bars truck blows the tires off through 3rd after bars spins about 3-4ft and is gone.

Cheap6.7 · May 31, 2015

For one I don't have any bars yet so here's how I think it should be, pre bars truck will bounce and cherp tires and after bars it should either spin or just go.
