I have 1 question? Why is this not a popular mainstream mod? This thing is unbelievable. The reason i ask is because it has eliminated almost ALL of the bumpsteer problems I was having and common for our trucks. I dont have to white knuckle the wheel over shitty roads anymore. I actually enjoy driving this thing now!:woot:

If you dont have one your missin out! Money well spent!:biggthumpup:

I can probably measure it out this weekend. The back right peice has a small bend in it. It couldve been straight on mine though since I'm runnin bullets.

nah, those are pics from my install. some of the hardware is from home depot since during shipping some of them fell out of the package

maybe because i've never autocrossed i don't notice anything different with it installed. maybe it's my truck being a longish club cab with a disassembled trailer under the cap.

as suggested by a DocZ over at dak-dur, i'll be flipping the bolts holding the arms to the frame to avoid shearing the bolts across their treads

...as opposed to what other product that's available right now? :finger:

Howzabout you convince JM to produce a batch of the real thing, since he owns the rights/plans according to the guy I talked to at Kenny Brown a couple of years ago?

I always wondered why he never fired up that jig. Not sure what he's waiting for as I doubt the demand for it is ever gonna go up.

I wanted one for my TKO truck, but he could never get a RC 5 speed to prototype from.

I wish I had that jig. I'll bet they're tons easier to make than drive shaft loops.
