Great pictures, it does look like the original style units are shorter in length possibly aiding in wheel rub. Thus keeping it off the wheel however might need to get different rod ends or go simple hiem. I am told by a few folks that it will be fine straight with Mag wheels as they are narrower and cast a little different.
I did a bunch of looking through pictures last night and it looks like it's a 50/50 shot as to bend or not. Appears to weigh heavily on offset plus wheel choice dependance.
We will see, hoping this weekend we can set up and eye
ball fitment.
