I pulled mine out of the way no problem
Really? I was thinking the last Blazer bar I put on didnt cause me any problems with the brake lines on the GN. I dont know, I must have just made something work.
There has to be a place to get a set of U bolts with the bump out for the brake lines. They are not exactly rocket science engineering, just simple U bolts. Have you looked into Hotchkis U bolts or any other brand? I know i've installed them with the bump outs but I cannot think of which brand off the top of my head.
Either way, maybe a stock style bar would work best for your application so you dont have to worrry about the brake lines.
Edit: Looking at Hotchkis and DSE, they both use simple U bolts as well.
You can't put a "bump" in it Jeremy. The way it clamps it would either be a weak spot or try and straighten out the bump crushing the line.
Charlie, there are plenty of manufacturers that offer "bumped" U bolts for Pro Touring style bars. Look at HR's website, they offer them as well.
Yes you can and that is what we done to mine, Very simple, very easy to do and you honestly will never even notice it was done..
I did cut 2 inches off the endlinks. For those wondering, it will clear a TA rear end cover. Nice piece and good instructions as well.
Anyone want to buy an ATR bar?
Sorry Joestuffy...I think I actually asked another guy about selling the bar, and it was on page 3.
Anyways...still very interested in the bar. Email me at quik87gn@aol.com
thanks, and my apologies for any confusion. I knew I asked someone about selling the ATR bar.
I just got the Hellwig #55809 for $179 shipped. It looks like the sway bar end links are a little on the long side at 5.5 inches center to center screwed all the way in. It doesn't really say in the instructions, but at what angle should the front of the bar be? I am thinking parallel to the frame or ground? I dont know if it really matters or not but just thought I would ask, since I haven't started the install yet.
