Id like to pick up a wonder bar and after a search, many people are using TDS. Does anyone have any reason not to go with TDS?

It's just like the GM one, but better since he added provision for a 3rd bolt in it. That's what I am planning on buying

I have a TDS one on both my '86 and '92. I don't recall any issues installing either.

I did enough research on the options to find the best one and yes the TDS was it. No complaints except the sticker didn't last long. LoL

i went with the UMI wonder bar and also purchased their sway bar relocation brackets. the brackets allow you to install straight sway bar mounts - replacing the stock offset mounts. i have all UMI suspension parts on my car so that was the main reason for going with them. all of their products are quality pieces and they have sales throughout the year (usually around holidays).
here's the links:
2030 wonder bar
2119 front sway bar relocation brackets

I got one of their refurb factory units, works fine for me.

Who said that? It's essentially the same as the rest, with two mounting holes. The TDS one is easier to install

The advantage with the TDS is a 3rd mounting hole. You pull out one of the steering box bolts and it goes through the mounting plate so it directly ties in the steering box to the bar. All the others just use the 2 sway bar mounting bolts.

I got the TDS because I heard some other brands had trouble clearing the dual fan setup.
The TDS fit perfectly.

+1 for the TDS bar. I have one, love it. Super easy to install, everything lines up mint.

Cool, thanks. I saw klowny on youtube install the detroit one, but its like $400. So TDS seems way more budget.
