I have the front one in 1". Fits OK, but the rubber bushings for the main bar wore out in 5,000 miles. Replaced them with polyurethane you-betcha, which now squeaks like a banshee. Lubed the bushings with special silicone grease, but they squeak again soon. Am searching for a good solution. Bought the rear bar at 7/8", but have not installed it yet........ full report later.
