I'm looking to buy some of these for my truck. Where is the best place to buy them from? Thanks!

Here are some pictures for any experts who may be able to tell what I'll need in terms of fitment...

It would be nice to purchase from Mike since I'm already going to buy the new 5" intake soon, but I also wouldn't want to miss out on a better deal for the traction bars. Is there a price consensus on the product which makes my concern irrelevant?

One thing that comes to mind is Truck Toyz being located in here in Texas. I'm not sure whether that would affect shipping costs or not.

If I'm not mistaken most ship from OUO. Mine did so it would not matter unless they had them in stock. He gave me a good deal.

Got mine through truck toyz because I had a few questions for them. They answered all my questions and had them to me with in a week. Pretty sure they shipped from ouo. They were wrapped up tight. Went with long gusset and under axle mount that ubolts go through since my lift was already where I wanted it

Is the shipping included? I don't need height adjustment for my lift either. What's the difference between short gusset vs. long gusset other than appearance? What size u-bolts are you running width-wise? I'm thinking I'll have enough thread on my current u-bolts...

I want to say yes on the shipping but I can't remember. As for your u-bolts, you should be good. The ouo mount will replace the factory ford under axle mount so you'll have plenty of length. Typically don't like to reuse ubolts, but I was real carful with taking the nuts off to not damage threads and so forth. They were the ubolts that came with my 8" fabtech lift. So again you should be good on reusing your ubolts. The long gusset is suppose to be a little stronger to support more horsepower, at least that's what ouo says. But I really just liked the way it looks on lifted trucks. Also there are a good bit of ouo videos on YouTube that'll show things better.

Gotcha! I wasn't sure if those were the 3/4 inch u-bolts or not. I'll stick with the standard sized ones. I have an assortment of u-bolt lengths accumulated in my garage if necessary.

I got mine from Jared @ RCD but wouldn't hesitate to buy from Mike at No Limit either. Both have always been very helpful when ordering anything. I know RCD stocks all the OUO products they sell. Not sure if Mike does or not. I also went with the long gusset bars and 3/4 u-bolts. I figured bigger is usually better and I also think the long gusset look alot better.

Yea you should be good with the ubolts you have on it now. Looks pretty much like mine. You'll like the set up a lot.

I'll be going with the short gusset version in an attempt to keep it simple-looking underneath. I'll probably ditch my Fabtech radius arms for some OUO adjustable link arms too. I like how this truck's undercarriage looks...

That does look sharp. Iv also been thinking of going to a 4 link set up and doing away with radius arms. Just don't know if it'll be worth the cash
