[redgmc]

i have this kit and was wanting to use it on my 96 rcsb i have installed it on a frame that i was building for a frame up build but have thrown that idea out for now do to no shop to work out of anymore. I did not like how close the axle clamps come the the c notch when layd out and dont know of anyone else useing this kit. I am thinking of changing how it mounts to the axle and am open to ideas or knowledge on this kit

It might not be to bad if you change the axle end's on the 2 link to some bushing's and then add 2 more bar's similar to a triangulated 4 link.

yea i was thinking of making it bolt to axle like a four link by adding a hin joint on bottom already has one that goes to top side just fab up mounts on axle and do away with the hole bulky clamp setup

 

[DRAGGIN95]

Yeah I think that would work.

It has all the side to side force of the truck pushing against the axle, can you post up a pic of your Watt's?

 

[redgmc]

No not at moment im on a job n port arthur tx. I am on my phone and dont have a pic or way to post it but it is a watts link that is on basicly a cross member behind c-notch and bars go to each end of axle. Thats why i am worried bout it flexing and breaking might brace it up just for insurance lol

Yeah you can't have too many gusset's!
