Thats exactly what i'm doing. (but at the crossmember, because i'm going to run a smaller rod end to gain clearance for the muffs too (from the between adjustable mount's brackets installed width being reduced from 4 inch to 1.75 or so) and the housing mount is already set for existing width at rear housing brkt)

The rest is because of tire size. The "Problem" i was having is/was because of tire size. With my 345/25/20's i could not fit them because of the way the front bushing is done. A la factory size, with the rod centered on the bushing housing. If they would have done it like DSE does it (bushing on the outside and bar mounted inside the front leaf pocket or rod welded on inside of bushing housing) the clearance would be that much better and thats the difference between a 315 and a 345 (or 30x13.5 for me now and a 30 x 10.5). I had talked to Bret and another guy about this but thats long ago.

I've moved the bars in to eliminate the space problem and the adjustability is coming in because, by using the crossmember(and its placement), i have to cut the bars because they are closer to the rear of the car now (too long) so i figured i'd make them adjustable as i was there...

My only prob/issue was tire clearance. Ah! If only i was not always set on having the biggest tires i can fit i would not have so many problems in my life
