The bar was threaded for heim joints about 1 1/2 inches deep into the bar so I sawed some off, a little at a time, until it was much better. Is yours the same type?
I have two bars. The one that originally came with the kit mounts behind the crossmember and it’s threaded. I like that idea! How’s it working out?
