i run just the bars on my car. and that was only for one season. ive been close to the bumper but it didnt happen. you can tune around it.
i was always scared to run the straps do to the landing.
the straps help but will not 100% keep you off the bumper and without the shock fully extending the landing is that much harder.
i had a close call one run and the next time out i had bars on the car.

I had one close call, did one 600 foot wheelie... then put the limiters on the car... never had another problem.

The bars and limiters would really be the way to go.... and the longer the bars are the better.

72 inch bars, and travel limters, that's the ticket Leave like a prostock car that way

I hear ya. Until I put an ATV in the 24 footer I just bought.. I probably can fit an 80 inch set on the car if I wanted to LOL. But, car only goes 9.x and I have those on there it's gonna look kind of silly

Dave.. a set of bars for your car, if the $ is available, might not be a bad idea. Travel limiters are a MUST though, those you absolutely HAVE GOT TO DO.

Madman sells a kit, they're pretty easy to put on. When you are ready to finish the 6 pt to a 10 pt and do the chute (if you do them before the season starts) definitely have the limiters put on then. If you're gonna hold off on that stuff, then get the limiters on.
