I personally have no love for square bars. The SD kit uses 1.5" DOM tube with a 1/4" wall thickness, do I need some form of gusset under the bar to run this? The bag will be dead center on the bar if that makes a difference.

Jason sells an under bar gusset for this... call up SSD since the website is being updated and tell em what ya got and they can get ya taken care of.

ya i knew they sold them, just wasn't sure with it being heavy wall tubing if it was needed. not a big deal if it is.

I have seen bags on the SSD round bars with no gussets on a crew cab dually towing on a weekly basis, with absolutely NO problems.

you dont notice anything unless watching the bars when lifting or lowering you will notice the bar will look like its bending some .. i have bag on top bars an would highly recc. under gusset

i will get them then, i guess if for nothing else for insurance. i don't want anything to break or twist. they dont look that bad anyways.

That is a tough one to answer. A round bar is not a stiff as a square bar of the same size and wall thickness (for example 1 1/2 round v.s 1 1/2 square) but the square bar will weigh aprox 30% more than the round bar. So I would either step up the size of the round bar or run a lower gusset, just be be safe. I personally don't like over built, so I would use 1 1/2 x .120 and run a nice bottom gusset.
