make sure you replace the top ca bushing before you install the arm. I didn't and my bushing is worn like crazy and now it makes a **** ton of noise.. I ran the system at 6.5 and now 4.5 inch lifts and so far I haven't found a weak spot. the brackets alittle sketchy but its held up to some decent wheeling.
only reason I chose it is because it was different and I wanted to try something new. but when I upgrade my d30 im tossing on a custom mid/long arm 3link.

If you guys are overheating then you have a problem with your cooling system... these hood vents will help obviously but you need to do a overhaul on your whole system.
I had a overheating problem before so I just replaced everything and now I have zero issues.

Vegas desert heat is right around the corner.
Time for coolant flushes/overhauls, fan upgrades, new Tstats. and a bottle of water wetter.
Hood vents only do so much, think i will do hood spacers instead. And keep the original hood look.

Already changed the cooling system pump, lines, tstat and radiator. Gota fan upgrade but thats about all i can do. Fluid is brandnew as about a month ago. Not exactly sure what else i can replace

the system isn't bad. braking is alittle funky and speed handles really weird.

I'm thinking I may go with the all aluminum Champion radiator.
Hood vents are only gonna help when you are moving. sitting in traffic your Rad and system will be doing the work. Get a good 3 core and flush everything. Driving home from ca on monday my temp was at the first mark just cruising and on the hills and in traffic would jump right up to 210 where it belongs



i dont wanna get rid of them lol
