Installation Considerations

Before installation:

• Verify splitter strength
• Determine mounting locations
• Measure rod length requirements
• Test fit before drilling

Because these rods are universal, installation methods vary depending on the vehicle and splitter design.

Professional installation is recommended for owners seeking optimal alignment and durability.

Durable Aluminum Alloy Construction

The rods are manufactured from high-quality aluminum alloy.

Benefits of Aluminum Alloy

• Lightweight construction
• Excellent strength
• Corrosion resistance
• Long-term durability
• Weather resistance

Unlike steel components that may rust over time, aluminum maintains its appearance and structural integrity in various weather conditions.

Adjustable Length Design

One of the most useful features is adjustability.

Adjustable Range

• Approximately 8 inches
• Up to 13 inches

This allows installation across a wide variety of vehicles and splitter configurations.

Benefits include:

• Improved fitment flexibility
• Easier installation
• Compatibility with custom aero setups
• Greater mounting options

Few vehicles share identical front bumper dimensions, making adjustability essential.

Articulated Joint Design

The support rods utilize articulated upper and lower mounting joints.

Advantages

• Multi-angle installation
• Improved alignment options
• Easier fitment on curved surfaces
• Reduced installation complications

The pivoting design helps installers position the rods correctly regardless of bumper shape.
