T-Bone -- Your bag is the same as mine and i have have no issues with getting it in any trunks. When it was a 6 baller, yes it was a pain to unassemble and reassemble for lifting (started just lifting the whole darn thing instead, and yes loaded w/6 16lb balls and all equip). like the legnth of the handle for the 6 thought the handle that comes with the 4 a little short.
Prefer this bag because it is stable, wont tip over side to side while pulling it along. The only thing i need to do is remove the Brunswick stiching from it.
As far as the handle sticking up to far for you, just try it and if ya don't like it then cut it the same size as the spacers but then there is no going back with out the purchase of new handle.
