The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System # FA94-00-1000 that uses the round bars will sit roughly 4" lower to the bottom of the bars than a trunnion bar Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-1000.

This measurement will vary between different manufactures and different weight classes as with Fastway their round bars have different vertical lengths based on the weight rating of the bar.
