Well Rize doesn't seem to have any clue when they plan to build more T-Bars for the 2009, and it has been a 10 month wait so far, with them saying another 3 so I bit the bullet and ordered the One Up Off-Road traction bars. They have a 7 day build period, painted to match the Rize silver and should be here by the end of next week. They are another option, and probably the best option for anyone waiting on the Rize stuff. It is a unique design as the U-Bolts run through the OUO block, and the traction bars are actually one with the block.

I ordered mine in the 60 - 80" configureable bars, with the intigrated 6" OUO block, 5 degree pinion change and 3/4" U bolts setup.

Link: Scroll half way down the page and you can see them on a 04-08 F-150. It is a short bed running the 80" bars, IMO looks kinda funny, but im running a Platinum long bed so it should look just right.

 

Congrats, can't wait to see them on your truck

 

Man those are low!

 

Big Slick,
They do look low, but once installed they are no lower than the Rize/GMR/Pro Comp traction bars =) Below is a vid of them in action on a dodge, but it will give you a good idea of how they work and mount.

Your definately going to have to let me know how they work and look. I've been looking for a set for mine.

 

be a little like this..

 

Yeah be a lot like the above pic. Those are the 80" bars on a short bed and looks odd to me honestly. Mine are adjustable between 60 - 80" and being I have the long bed im thinking the 80" setup will look fine but then again if not I can adjust them before mounting the front brackets.

 

Looks like it destorys ground clearance!
