OUO Traction Bars

[lizardking]

New to the forum... I have a 2014 F250 Platinum and looking at the OUO traction bars. What size axle do I have 3-5/8" or 4" axle?

 

[Dzchey21]

should be 3-5/8 if its single rear wheel

 

[WHY NOT]

That would be a good question for Jared@RiverCityDiesel. A lot of guys are going to be at TS threw the weekend though so it will be hard getting ahold of them right away.

They worth the money?

Rear axle is 3-5/8" and definitely worth the money

 

[Jgon08]

Worth every penny IMO.

Truck with a small lift and 35s stock, they would make a big difference?

Absolutely. shifts will feel smoother. Worth every penny.

Weld on or bolt on? Or does it really matter? I know probably a question for Jared but looking for opinions.

 

[Crack85]

Doesn't matter just depends on ur application and budget really. Bolt on are really nice but the weld ons will get the job done as well.

 

[WHY NOT]

The under axle mount bolt ons are a great product, bolt right into place of your lower U bolt mounts

 

[Super08Duty]

I like the bolt on kits better. Don't have to worry about cracking welds. Ouo Bolt on adjustable bars are awesome

Pm me if you would like pricing! We have OUO just down the street so wait times and access to Inventory is a premium.

You need a 101041 Under Axle 3 5/8 Mount which is 275. 101010 Short Gusset Bars are 610, 101011 Long Gusset Bars are 660.

I've never heard anyone who has ACTUALLY EVER RAN OUO bars say they aren't worth the money, most of those comments come from naysayers at the sidelines, seems to be about the only argument brought to the table. Regardless..

I have both style bars in stock and plenty of mounts. They are a clean install.

Also, if you measure your factory U Bolts, I keep OUO's 3/4" Plated U Bolt Kits in stock that go together very nicely with the bar, they are 134.00 Regardless of the size, ie 11, 13, 15, in the F Top (U bolts down) variation

I just put on a set of ouo tractions bars short gusset bolt on type under the axle and they are awesome even with just stock power you will feel a major difference. I ran them on my 2012 with a spartan tune, and like what is stated above the shifting will be much smoother. Simply put they are awesome. The bolt on type is what I had both times. They are easy to put on, just make sure you have a buddy to do the other side, because 8 holes in the frame will wear a guy out.

Helpful hit when drilling the holes from the under side use a bottle jack under the drill to make an upside down drill press.

You pansy a$$. I had all 16 holes drilled and mounts on in 30 minutes. Although I do recommend wearing a long sleeve and gloves for the bottom holes. Hot metal shavings in the palm of your hand and arm pit isn't the most comfortable working conditions. I strongly suggest spending some money on good drill bits. You only need 2 bits (1 for a pilot bit). It'll make your life much easier.
