If I were to do it over again I would use the 58" Rancho bars. I am having issues with my exhaust hitting, only have 1/4-3/8" room. The 54" bars put the front mounting bracket on the upward slope of the frame, this gives more ground clearance but puts the bar closer to the exhaust. If you use the 58"s then you would get at least 1/2-1" more clearance.

Not that you asked for it but that is my opinion.

Hmm i need to do some measuring. I have bassani exhuast and ive heard there will be clearance issues with the rancho style bars. Any ideas on if the 58'' rancho bars will clear.

OK Metco it is Terry how much installed?Do you have a 2" drop or a 3" drop.

The reason I ask is if you have up to a 2" drop you will need the Metco uppers. If 3" drop or lower, you will need the Metco lowers.

You won't be sorry you went with the Metco from the start. I know several folks that have moved to Metco as they start making more torque. You also will get real darned tired of hearing the traction bars rattle as you drive.

Metco is a 4 link type system and adjustable with the turn of a nut.
