    I used Rhodes, their main hoop was too wide, when I added the halo, it was too narrow, they made good on everything, but there are better options out there. Best is to get one custom bent.

    How long are the down bars? Yours look to be straight completely straight. I would like to have less of an angle and bend the rear of the down bars to be 90* with the mounting surface.

    The two bars from main hoop to frame?
    They are straight, no bends, straight is stronger.

    Be sure to box the frame in where all the bars attach.
    I have since added a full spare tire carrier back in and to get the bed off, you'll have to cut it.

    Regular cab?
    I had the main hoop bent so it would angle back closer to the rear of the cab.
    I still had the stock door panels, the arm rests hit the down bars so I went full Tin Can.

    Yes. How long did they come? Did you cut them to length?
