bottom bars length

just built a rear clip for my truck...just wondering if a 30" lower bar is too long to mount the bag on. also for the top, im planning on running a wishbone....any problems

no, 30" is not too long. the longer your bars are, the less arc you'll have. just make sure you gusset the bottom of you lower bars if you're gonna run a bag on it. and as far as running a wishbone goes, as long as you run all bars (lowers and wishbone) forward, you'll be fine. thats the best set-up. two more things to keep in mind... your upper and lower bars should be as close to the same length as possible, and when you go to set it all up, do so at about 50% of your travel and try to keep them parralell to each other.

yep, 30 is goooood. Longer bars have less pinion angle change, if you do as adam suggests you wont have ANY.

My lowers are 26 inches, my tops are 29, and in 14" of travel the pinion angle does not change.

I just did a Tundra, 33" inch lower bars , 30" wishbone, no pinion angle change throughout 13 inches of travel.
