Its an APN manifold, basically a header. Its really solid and aside from the cheesy manifold gasket I'm happy for $150.

Yes, its stronger than the original rear ds imo. Been beating on mine locked with 35s for over a year with no issue.

I bought a roof basket made by rollingstone. I also spray lined my factory flares. Going to spray the new basket and install the flares later today or sometime this weekend.

From what i can gather, And it is just a temporary fix until i can afford a better shaft. I have higher priorities at the moment haha. And for $19.99 you cant go wrong.
