XPLORx4 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky2 Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 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.

96Pathfinder4x4 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 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.

01silvapathy Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I never did it cause of my motor. The vq does not have as much room underneath to run pipe. That pic was of a truck with a vg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
