I have the same crossmember and it sucks. It sits so low my car scrapes everything. I was completely dissapointed with the poor design and will get another brand soon. They make one called the "high mount" that doesnt sit as low. It looks like a mount for a plow lol. Good luck and maybe you can return it if you didnt bend it in half yet from hitting potholes.

That's either a bar way outa spec, or you're not using the right hole locations.
Pic of the bar before install? Pic of bar mounted inside engine bay or mounting location?
Edit: Appears reading up on it, that bar just sucks, sorry. Get a full race.

Yeah i think he has the old style.. . which uses the stock radius rods. When i purchased the new innovative traction bar, the guy i purchased it from had the old innovative design and we compared it...and it sat 2 1/2 - 3 inches lower.

Its not really the old style... it's just the front crossmember "replacement" compared to their traction bars...
