Yikes... That could be a problem. I wonder where to find bar length other than asking around on forums? I had thought about welding our brackets on too. Maybe not such a good idea.
Perhaps dumb question, but do the snap-up brackets change for the higher 1500 or 1700 lb setups and need heavier rating?
If the bars are only a 1/2" plus or minus, maybe it won't matter with the chain angle. Didn't in our case. Biggest difference it made is with the threads in the cam arm. May depend on where your nuts are at on the threads now... Hard to estimate what it would do to the nut location on the threads due to the geometry and number of links you are using. IIRC correctly, the extra 1/2" in bar length made something like an inch difference where the nuts ended up being on the threads. I tried and tried to get the cam arms set up correctly as per instructions only to find the flippin' bar lengths are different. Grrr... But it sure works nice now!
