I'm suprised he hasn't ask if the long gusset bars will increase turbo whistle.....:axe:

Which made yours louder? the Powermax or the bars? Lol

Oh crap. I may need some more convincing here. First, the lack of turbo whistle enhancement was unexpected and disappointing. Second, man these bars look like they come down too low compared to the driveshaft. Is there a reason for this? Can the frame mount be pushed back towards the rear to help this out? Can the gussets be flipped to where they are on the top side of the bar? I know it's about performance and not looks, but damn it's going to bug me the sh¡t out of me if they don't look right. My previous traction bars (frame mount broke) were made by Pro Comp, but they were a match made in heaven with my Fabtech radius arms. This is what I'm struggling with here...

I have the PMF bars but I got them without the gussets cause I didn't like the gusset look. Just got a bit bigger tubing. And I also ended up shortening them since I have an extended cab. They looked like they went clear to the front door. I cut 12" out of mine and re welded the tube adapter in for the joint. But this is all different than on the OUO bars I guess. The reason they are that long is so they don't bind. The longer they are the flatter smoother arc they travel which is closer to the arc the rear leafs make the axle travel with it moves up and down.
