I can say that there are 6 locking bars (4 in front and 2 in the rear) on the recommended installation of both the Strongarm and the BAL systems.
Looking at the size of the bars and the mounts between the 2 I see why the SteadyFast just has 3. The locking mechanism for the SteadyFast is also very robust and simple, no tools required.
