I will be test driving it for about 1K and get it powder coated candy purple to match the rest of my suspension...
who knows maybe if this thread blows up the person(s) might get this out into production

If you want the kit PM me for the contact and I can hook you up but I can not stress enough that if not properly done it will not be safe.
You will be accountable if not used for the specific application it was intended for.

It ties into the rear axle housing connecting the rear section to the frame rails, like a front frame brace ties the front cradle to the frame...
I will update with more pics after I get the parts back from being powder coated candy purple

Got lucky and no welding needed... I am working on getting a piece fabricated for the center mount on the crossbrace to use the original mounting locations as well as the new ones I drilled and used rivet-nuts just for extra safety...
Overall everything worked out well and now all the suspension mods flow better and the candy purple is visible throughout for shows :D :D :D
During the testing I took a on ramp to the 405 fwy that almost had a 360 and floored it passing everyone and it handle exceptional as I was going into 4th gear entering the fwy zoom-zoom bye bye but then again I have every suspension piece I could add except for a roll cage but that's overkill
