The benefit is that the axle stays in the middle for more travel plus the bars look cool going across the center especially with the cool looking center crank. the crank also rotates more which also looks cool with the right shape crank.

the only down side is the bars make odd angles as they go up and down. looks funny way up or way down..

The rear cover mount is a good way to go on a 10 bolt or 12 bolt. The axle mounts look pretty cool too tho...

Mike that setup looks good. S10 i'm guessing? Can you show me some more pics of the rear set up.

That's on a Nissan Frontier. I will find more pics of this one plus this same one is going on a Nissan 720 this weekend.

Kinds depends on the style you want. You can mount to the axle and several people make nice setups. rear cover mount, I think only two companies make that style and then there's the frame mounted pivot where only the parallel bars themselves are mounted to the axle and everything else mounts to the frame.
