Well the jim fabs got installed today. BUT. They fit with the Hasport mounts, but there is not enough room for suspension travel and it comes to close to the oil pan when suspension gets lifted full height. So YES they fit, they are fine as a race setup and in straight line, but for daily driving it would make me to nervous getting that close to the oil pan and I think it could hit it eventually, unless you were to move the connecting point a little, which wouldn't be to hard because you just have to drill 1 new hole, so I am going to wait now to see if the Totem's fit better, When ever will they get here.....

so that is my input on the JIM Fab install.

Well they fit, but its to close for comfort if you ask me. I would modify them to fit better though because the Jim Fab and the Totem are the only traction bars in my opinion that are good for street use. The comp bars are only good for RACE ONLY because it makes your suspension in full lock and would be more dangerous then the way the jim fab bars sit

I asume your saying its close near the front right? where are the pics ?

Damn, you're finally getting that cage in? So if you're running the HCP mounts, what's the best traction bar?

Its the point on the bar where they connect. Rather the angle. However Jim fabs dont fit our hybrids. So its either TOTEM or DTR traction bars..
