Ok now I know what you are talking about, The factory front bars are 1 5/8 OD and the tubing I used was 1 1/2 OD. The 1 1/2 slid snugly inside the 1 5/8 so I gave it 3 extra inches on each side. Once I build the front bumper and a some kind of a foot tub I don't think it will be that obvious there is a difference in OD tube size.
