Default Traction Bars

Well like in the title I am wondering about doing some traction bars on my 2012 F150 Supercab. I have a Zone 6" lift. I was thinking about either getting some made or buying some. But I can't find any online really besides Pro Comp ones and they are kind of plain and boring. Rize has some but it's around 1600 for theirs and then shipping. Seems a bit steep. Has anyone else made some or bought some offline and made them work. Let's see them guys/gals!

One up off-road makes traction blocks that replace your rear blocks with theres and the traction bar is connected to the block.

Those bars are pretty big in the superduty world. OUO makes nice quality products but they can be on the pricey side.

The OUO bars are very nice, very very nice. Installed a set in a buddy's F250. They are pretty $$ also.

There has been a few thread about tractions bars that I have commended on he last few days. Search for plenty of info.

I've got a set of the OUO traction blocks on my truck with a 6" BDS lift and very happy with them. Just so you know, they are custom built to order and take a while to get them made, I think I waited 6 weeks for mine to come.

What difference did the traction blocks do for your truck?

Now this is the traction bar thread I've been wanting. The other ones help with nothing at all. Those OUO look very nice. They are very popular in diesel world I have been looking at some to make fit on F150s haha. Or making my own. I'm gonna look harder into those now since they are at least bed length. The block looks pretty nice also.
