It feels better than ever and it really helps with articulation having johnny joints on both ends of the arms.

Any plans on bracing the UCA mount and adding skids to the LCA mounts?

Yes, I was thinking about building new mounts for upper and lower on the axle with a skid on the lower mount.
Maybe even an axle truss with the upper mounts built-in and use a jj on uca for the axle side as well.
