See, where less flex is desirable (desert racing, heavy winch/bumper) stiffer bars are good.
It's good to keep that in the cross hairs when considering them.
What will get worked in the desert though are shocks. They get hot, fade, and then the bumpstops get beaten to death not to mention the truck becomes hard to control.
Stiff bars will absorb more energy when jumping too. They just flex very poorly on the trial unless you have increased the front end vehicle weight.
Our suspensions even with spacers don't have a very large window of travel so you aren't going to break either bar, though, the stiffer bar is under more stress at full flex than is the stock bar. That will *technicall* make it more likely to fatigue though it's high unlikely either will.
