cant use heims with bag on bar, there isnt any lateral stiffness and it will just flop over to the side with least resistance. Have to use bushings. Even with bushings you have to be sure and put the bag perfectly centered on the bar so it doesnt twist and ruin the bushing.

Kyle- How was our link kit "crap"?

Same size bars and heims as most other kits on the market... CNC tapped, black powdercoated, grade 8 hardware...

RussD is completely correct about bags on the bars, though- heims won't hold the bar steady.
On top of that, the bars in our kits aren't designed for a load. There are kits out there that are made with larger bars to take the weight of your truck- most also have at least one fixed (non-adjustable) end to keep the bar locked in position so it won't twist on you with a bag on it.

Good luck with your project!
