Pro Comp bars work...for awhile.

this is them when i first bought them.

and what they look like now

Just thought i would share, since its a popular bar to use.

Im guessing something hit it while offroading?

 

[Powerstroke586]

nope both sides are equally bent. im thinking axle wrap from the 310 tune. i noticed it after driving it on the 310 for a couple weeks.

Straighten them out and put a 45 degree lace in there. I bet the weld weakened the the pipe or its cheap thin wall

Thats a good idea, i was gonna talk them back to the shop where i got them and see what they say. I will mention that too them though

It looks like mig weld but undercut on the upper pipe. Did the gusset flare out as well?

im not sure i will climb under tomorrow and look from a different angle. im gonna make sure none of the welds have broken either.

in that case id be pissed and expect a replacement set.

 

[Heavyhaul]

I would bet no by the pic. But I bet those gussets are bowed out. Cheap material.

Bang on! But what would it fix? Haha do it twice and your a test dummy.

Effectiveness doesn't seem to be an issue with them. Quality/strength of the bars, however, does seem to be a big issue.

yeah im hoping they will either replace them then if those ones bend just get a different brand or have somebody make me some out of some strong material.

Your probably right, hopefully pro comp will step up and replace them.

Cheap product. Junk.

Exactly, i love how they look and the style of them.

If i didnt drive off road for work like i do i would get a nice set like you have on your truck.

Im thinking im gonna have to have some made custom.

well they certainly wont be giving anyone a full refund so what else would you want?

At least if they replace them with a new set he could sell them to recoop some money to put towards a different brand.

or like stated earlier modify them to be stronger.

You shouldn't have to. Demand a new set, sell them on ebay to a someone who doesn't run the race tunes. Get yourself a set of OUO, and run any tune as hard as you want and be done with it. imho is all.

 

[Layson]

That sucks... I would get rid of them. Your new set is just going to do it over again.
