David,
I agree with Rokcrln as far as choose which you like best. Although both will help in the event of a roll over, The second one with the rear tubes mounted up higher will be of most benefit when needed (triangles are strong!). These bent braced tubes will carry the load of the truck in a roll over. Perhaps not if you slipped off a cliff face at 50 feet

A big help in a roll over. The loads required to punch 4 mounting plates through the blazer floor exceeds the weight of the truck. I have rolled autos and roll bars don't suck!
This is not a 14 point racing roll cage but your not running 300 mph either.
The key is to mount them correctly with grade 8 bolts.
Create greater safety, not a hazard.
Cheers,
Denny
