Bds trac bars

Bigharm27 · Apr 8, 2016

Hey guys I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on trac bars. Bds just released some recently and I checked out the price and they are over 900! That's close to the price of some ouo bars and more than some pmf. I drive a lifted truck so I want bars that would not affect my flex. It seems like u have to get put and adjust the bds bars so u can go offroad? So many options but I might just pull the trigger on ouo bars since I have heard a lot of good things. What do u guys think

I don't see a lot of articulation in the BDS bar but the OUO has the pivot joint built in ?
just sayin you might have answered your own question ?

OUO will not limit your truck in anyway.

Love my OUO bars and they are proven to allow flex. No additional noise too and I'm off road a fair bit...

Weld on OUO's from Morgan come out to cheaper than that, go with OUO. It's good koolaid...

I sow those BDS bars yesterday. And was going to see if anyone on here had tried them. I'm no suspension expert but seems like an ok idea. But pricy

BDS
I don't see them articulating very far without binding ??

OUO articulation at about 3:12

thats the picture they show, but if you go to the instructions they look nothing like that. Figure they would show a accurate picture of the product.

what the heck ?
can you find a mare accurate pic ?

Zmann · Apr 9, 2016

ohh is it the recoil type ??

Bigharm27 · Apr 10, 2016

Yes those are the ones

That spring is counter productive.

I feel the same way

Zmann · Apr 10, 2016

i think the spring takes the place of the shackle some use

it looks like the spring accounts the the mounting point distance changing when the suspension cycles but should still keep the axle from rotating

that observation out of the way, I sure don't like the complexity compared to an OUO or other brand the incorporates some form of a ladder backing or stiffener to the main bar
