yeah, the stock configuration for the rear is pretty bad. this will be a true frame mounted bar though, so it should be a huge improvement.

right now ive got a 1.25" front and 1" rear bar. could i just take the width of these along with the arm lengths and figure out the rate, or is the steel a major factor with the splined bars? i really dont need to do this, but im just interested to see what i had before.


i havent had any issues finding a rear bar around 300, but the front is a little more tough. since it needs to be 39" long and has 14" arms, even the solid bars are around 400, not 500. looks like ill need a bigger bar thats turned down to 1.25 at the ends. most of those are only 37.5 though, so it looks like i may have to pay some more for a custom length.
