Hey, what about a modified/custom front strut bar that fits WITH the Air Ram on? (I tired search option but nothing came out; maybe I'm not used to the board yet, sorry if this was taken car of in onother thread).
I just posted this here thinking that as there are a few of us in the Air Ram GB already, maybe all of us are going to need such a bar?

I've got some ideas man, and one of them sounds WAY to easy to me, but it should work. The Moteria bar, the one that Importshark.com sells, looks like it sits high enough to work with the airram. if it doesn't I'll try my mod that I have in mind and let you know. If THAT doesn't work, keep your brackets and get one custom made.

OK, but I was thinking it would be easier to have brackets changed (new ones made) and keep the bar... it's much more difficult to find someone willing to make an aluminum bar at a reasonable cost.
Would it be too radical to move the bar through the brackets? Would it be useless if not right on center top of the tower?
Please let us know about what you'r thinking, I'm sure I?m not the only one interested.

Ehhh, any place with mandrel bending equipment should be able to do it.
Well, Zmang, I was thinking, what if you took the stock bar and brackets off, and loaded up a spacer or just a couple of washers on the studs then remounted your Strutbar? You know? Those studs have plenty of space, and the Strutbar like mine, the Moteria, looks like it'd almost make it without the washers.

ZMang, send me a picture of your current SB (Strutbar), from the front and level so I can see how it's profile is and compare it.
