You can try have 2 adults stand on top of OEM strut bar. It will bent a little... But this one won't at all...

Sorry the manufacture was just too lazy to put the other side on. But if you look at our first post where 2 adults stand on top of the strut bar. You can see how strong it is. Not even OEM one can do that...

Jay it looks sweet. I am a little hesitant about fitment and the lack of any preload. Is there are way you could rig up a preload using one of the bolts?
