If you are looking for something bolt on that does not bind, you may want to look at the OUO bars.

I run them on my 07, no difference in ride with 2500lbs in the bed or taking a raised (3") concrete median at 30mph :D

The Customize button will allow you to view all the options. With a Short Bed you can run the 64" Fixed or Adaptable bars.
