I have had the Raptor 5" ovals for a little over 4 years and have had no problems. Another nice thing about these are that the ends are welded and polished also, no plastic caps.

Originally mine came with 2 brackets for each bar, no middle support, but from what I am hearing they now come with a third bracket for more center support and a higher load rating, 500 lbs vs 300 lbs for the older ones.
