Yes, they have had about a dozen 09+ weld-on kits out there for a while. I have been chatting with Bryan for months helping him with design questions he and I had with the bars for our trucks. We spoke early this week and he told me they should be ready in 2 weeks.
100% Bolt On only needing to drill one home. They have opposite threaded heims on the ends which allow for adjustment without removing them. The heims also last much much longer than the bushings that come on the JLP bars.
Brackets and bars will be powder coated black. For a extra $100 I think he said he can do them a different color. I'm getting my brackets black and bars silver.

Just found out that caltracs makes some. Cheaper than JLP or Stifflers. http://www.calvertracing.com/store/c...-wd-p-180.html

Caltracs has been making them for a while, the issue is that they have HP limits. I been around the L/HD world a long time and I have seen more people buy the caltracs to later swap them out for long bars way to many times. So I figure why not go with the best from jump street, right? There are 9sec Lightnings running long bars I don't know of a single one with caltracs.

I was thinking about making some of my own bars just for racing and to be taken off for DD. I was wondering if the lower shock mounts would support the stress of long bars then attaching to existing frame holes. I could make bars for about $40 in metal and fab it up at work.

I just tried the 91 perf/tow from 5* after running the 87 economy all week. I'm new to tuner world, but man, this is awesome! I definitely have some wheel hop!! Will be adding long bars next for sure.
I'm very curious so see how these turn out. After browsing stifflers website it seems they're based out Indiana? That would make shipping to Toronto not too bad.

Interested in picking up some traction bars but they are a pretty penny.
