Also by design, the double x-brace design is structurally much more solid than the single brace that is currently mentioned. Besides it will out perform both bars hands down!!

But some people enlarged the hole in the bar to make it fit or I even saw someone who welded the bar to the chassis

The install is actually much easy than people lead to believe. I have installed one in about 25 minutes. Even quicker with airtools!! Its just about how good you are mechanically speaking. Bottom line is they always fit and are always installed!! A lot of people tighten bolts before all the bolts are started.
