andy669,
My CE bar has a bushing inside the bracket tube for the bar to ride on. The grease fitting is outboard of this bushing. If the bushing seals fairly good then the grease would take the easier path which is down the center of the bar. With the Wolfe, when you apply grease it goes directly to the bearing surface. I think the bushing is a good idea as long as it doesn't wear out. Once this thing is welded up you can't replace the bushing. With yours, I don't think it will ever wear out as long as you keep grease on the bearing surface.
I wonder if both our bars are the same strength? Mine is 1" OD x .623-.624 ID or about a 3/16 wall.
It appears that the brackets that weld to the differential axle tube are flat on yours. My CE has extra legs for added strength. Another plus for the CE. I would still go with the Wolfe just because of this hole drilling. It has to go to a machine shop and a welding shop for installation. Yours only a weld shop.

I would go with air bags until you can afford the Eibach drag springs.
