New C4 Frame Braces

[tomtom72]

Hey Jeff, thanks for the work on this deal!

It looks to me that we all have to declare our intentions in order to see what our price will be.....so I'm "IN" for counting purposes. My guess is we are in the "10 items" range unless a lot of people are lurking?

Sorry I still need to see a bit more info on what the parts kit looks like and I have to go look at my frame to figure out my jacking and jack stand issues.

Just so I'm clear on the theory. These help stiffen the frame flex that has it's hinge point near the A-pillar, right? That would be mostly deflection in the vertical plane for chassis movement? The way I see it you still need to consider adding a harness bar to add resistance to diagonal twisting, anyone? Therefore, the total investment would be the B-K bar + these frame braces ( $1300.00 round #'s ) for a reasonable cure short of installing a cage or something like a back bone structure....sorry I'm thinking out loud ....

Wouldn't the cross frame brace be the equivalent of the harness bar and the frame braces?

Right, I put this together yesterday.

There were more pictures taken by someone Friday on a Lift, I need to lift the rear of my Kwiklift, get get a few pictures.. maybe later today.

As for the Group Buy, you need to call Jason to get on the 'list' then at the end of the GP is when you will get pricing etc.

is there a ball park amount to figure if one might be able to afford it ?????

No Welding, all bolt in, I will get a few better pictures, just give me time, Jason has some and another took some, but I will get some as well. I forget all the size bolts used though..

Tom,

I owe you this still, I am sorry I will get to it, I can't today though with the heavy rain right now, but maybe pictures from underneath will help.

you might need the diagonal stiffener, not sure quite yet.. still a few things for me to adjust, with my vette on the kwiklift, and having the right tools now, I will try to adjust it as well, but due to it being lowered there is not much room for the wrench..

Tom,

Depending how/ whee you jack from, I know looking at it today I could do it from the points i have used before, plus there is not problems with the spot where I place the Jack stands.. the pictures in my post before this will help and yes I know the underside is dirty. but it helps to see the new brackets LOL
