I know by now a decent amount of the 10 AirRam buyers have to have them installed. Has anyone found a front strut bar that will fit/work without needing to modify the shit out of the mounts?

im looking for one too...

quick question off topic, i understand strut bars give you more control around turns.

however, does it give you a better launch???

I would say yes and no. If you have moded enough to have enough HP that the front end twists due to the torque then yes I would imagine so. If not then you probably wouldn't notice much of a difference on the launch.

If you want something to help you lauch, put a bar between the two ends of your cassis, it's under the header usally but take a look, and you will see.

Strut bar links the top of your shocks. I'm talking about the ends of the chassis. You have an oem sway bar. Aftermarket sway bars are stiffer but it's not a new element like the strut bars. But i'm not talking about sway bars either. Sway bars will limit body roll, strut bars will limit body torsion but the bar i'm talking about limits chassis "opening".
