Not a moment too soon to have those frame plates cut...

This was supposed to be fixed a while ago! you knew about this when you put your track bar on almost 8 months ago! lol

this is the reason I did all the plating on my rails and put on hydro to take the stress off the rails... (and to make it turn like a dream hahah)

They are a little bit of a ***** to weld on but well worth it! the hardest part IMO was getting them to mold to the curce of the rail since they are made of flat steel. However with C-clams and a torch the second side was pretty easy!

I got a job try out tomorrow. Yay I guess.
My wife likes the apricot version.

...and she finally got me to put a slice of orange in my beer (I favor Blue Moon Belgian White these days, but I'm eclectic about brewski's). Oddly enough, I liked it.

They are 80 for the fronts and 150 for front and rear. Most the cost is the table time. But still 100 bucks cheaper than any other kit. I'd rather have them cnc cut out then sit there with a plasma and do it all day lol
