You shouldn't need the SFD brace if you get the "missing link". It looks like they do the same thing, they're just bolted to slightly different places.

I think it braces the SFD blocks themselves so they do not flex or collapse. Especially if using 4" blocks and as write-up states under a side load. Welding the blocks is also a good insurance and blocks designed like "shift220" used seem bomber as well. The missing link is designed to brace the LCA flex.

What I thought was cool is how he bent the tube over the drive shaft and welded a brace to the SFD blocks.

It's probably a good idea if you plan to try to rock-crawl or keep up with bigger, stronger rigs.

For the most part, I'll have my kiddos in the back seat and will be limiting myself to mild excursions.

 

I don't even feel much sway in the back, so I don't think I'm even going to do the missing link. That might change after my first offroad trip.
