The round bar and trunnion bars are both pretty easy to use and install. I would say one is not necessarily easier to install than the other, but the round bar design might be slightly easier since all you have to do is raise the bar into position and turn it and it is installed.

Trunnion bars tend to have better ground clearance and do better on vehicles with limited ground clearance.

The process for getting the spring bars on the bar hangers will be the exact same.
