Yeah, I think the standard panhard bar will have clearance issues. ECE makes a bar with a bend in it that allows you to use the aluminum covers.

ECE makes bars that have a bend in them for bigger alumn covers now, or you can get the bar and cover both from them.

I bought one of the LPW covers today - the term no way is this sucker going to fit came to mind when I climbed under the truck- the stock rear cover leaves only 1/2-3/4" clearance - the LPW is 1.5 inchs taller than a standard rear cover - so Jegs will get another return
