Consensus is the 4 point is better. I have a big ol honking (thick)
Ground Control two point bar on the Roc now, but I was able to pick up
a four point from a pic n pull and it's going on with the H&R Cup Kit
and the rest of the poly suspension bushings.

Flimsy may not be a bad thing, you don't always want stuff made out of
'unbendium', a _little_ flex to help conform and distribute forces can
be a good thing.
