i have a 4.5 inch lift with the 1600 trac bar but want to go to 6.5 could i use that bracket with the 1600 instead of buying new track bar

You cannot use the RE1600 with the RE1665 trackbar bracket. You will have to get the RE1660 trackbar.

It's a different mount, you would need to add spacers to make it work, and you'd be better off just getting the 1660 trackbar with the 1665 mount.

No, the 1600 has a different frame side joint then the 1660. However, you might be able to swap out the joint on your track bar but you'll still need the bracket. Tha 1660 is awesome and built for abuse.

The stock shocks will be just fine as well as the sway bar. An adjustable track bar is recommended but not needed I'm using the stock one and the only thing I notice is the front axle sits about half an inch towards the driver side more then stock but it won't wear any parts or drive weird. I say go for it my truck looks awesome!

Yes you can, but you need the accesory Bar Adapter 64004 or 64005. See it on http://www.swagman.net/products/rack-accessories/deluxe-bar-adapter-2/

Doesn't need a new track or sway bar. If it's the stock shocks you may need to go a little longer. Mine aren't the stock ones so it works good. Sometimes if they are too short it can bottom out on the spacer. Which isn't a problem as long as you don't get too crazy with the truck. Other than that it's a fantastic product. Looks great.

I think it comes with only a high profile bracket, with no additional brackets, so the answer is no. In my experience, trying to find a low profile bracket, even a blank one to modify, is nearly impossible. Get what you need up front.

I have not mounted a Thule bar in this but was informed that it will not fit. You may need to get different mounting brackets

Yes it should work. Simply insert your bars in track and line them up with the latches.

It will not fit. Even with my 7' bar, there is only about 2-3 inches of space between the bar's inner collar and the rack's arm cradle. With a 6' bar, there's no way you could rack it.

I'm not sure what you are really asking, but I have a 6' and a 7' bar, and only the 7' fits on the rack. the 6 is 6" too short to lay properly on the posts that make up the rack. Maybe they updated it, but when I got mine in August, there was no 8" bar to adjust the rack size.

6 inches should be fine for the cover lifter to operate properly. Having enough room to drill the brackets in is the real question. And that depends on the size of your drill/ length of the screws. Make sure your drilling into the spa frame. The cover lifter needs adequate support. Somtimes I'll extend the existing frame with a 2" x 2" on each side if needed.

Correct. This is the way I went because of the concerns of dropping the bracket unnecessarily and changing steering angles. You have to install a drop pitman arm if you install a drop bracket track bar. But most argue that's it's a bad idea or just unnecessary unless you have an insanely high lift. On my 4" I took drop pitman arm off put a stock one on and this RE track bar. No bracket just drill stock bracket hole larger and bolt in stock location. Adjusting length to fit your lift.

I think it could be used for either bracket but does not fit as snugly with a 5/8 inch opening. It is a 3/4 inch bar.

Do a google search of "Liftmaster 8500 manual" and look at page 3 for all the pre-installation requirements. I found this link: http://www.liftmaster.com/CatalogResourcesV3/en-us/shared/files/tucmanuals/114A4565.pdfOn that page it gives this answer: The torsion bar must extend at least 1-5 inches (2.5-12 cm) past the bearing plate. This may vary depending on your installation requirements.

You could always bolt longer bars to the current ones. Make your own bars out of wood or metal. In most cases still cheaper than the Thule version.

Yes depends on what you already have. I am using existing bracket. Better to have two people to install it. I did it by myself and it wasn't fun. I had to bend my old bracket a little so the top sliding screws will catch the groove. I had the old style bracket with U-bolt.

As @totsubo said.. This should not be an issue. I use a Paul Buff White Lighting 1600 with 6' Octa with no problem. This thing is big and heavy duty. Not real portable though. I did find a bag for it. Look for the tote bag for EZ-UP shelters. It fits perfect. One last thing, I drilled out the hole for the tilt and replaced with the next size bolt (I think it is 5/8"). The smaller bolt did not really tighten down as much as I would like. I was getting a little sag until I changed the bolt.

The 6 foot bar is a little short. The plates will not be outside the rack. I modified my 6 foot standard bar by wrapping duct tape around the bar to stop the plates from moving on the bar.
