Traction Bars...OUO vs. Fabtech

Posted this in the Superduty forum and haven't gotten any responses....thought I would try here......Just looking for opinions on OUO traction bars (not their bar/block) vs. fabtech traction bars.

I have heard good things about OUO, but haven't seen anyone actually running them....therefore, I think I am leaning towards Fabtech. But thought I would check on here before making any purchases.

Besides what is in my signature, I have already ordered a 4 link for the front end and plan on doing the Icon's (DR) 5" springs (maybe with a 1" block) in the rear. But whether I stick with my stock springs and 6" block or do the after market rear springs, I am still planning on adding a traction bar.

I think the Fabtechs ride better because of the pivot they have in front. When I have time I'm going to build a set like the Fabtechs.
