I have the front one in 1".
Fits OK, but the rubber bushings for the main bar wore out in 5,000 miles.
Replaced them with polyurethane you-betcha, which now squeaks like a
banshee.  Lubed the bushings with special silicone grease, but they squeak
again soon.  Am searching for a good solution.

Bought the rear bar at 7/8", but have not installed it yet........ full
report later.
