I love that cage. When I bust 11.49 in a few weeks I will need to make that purchase.

Actually it wasn't too bad to get in. To be honest with you I forgot who I bought them from, it was online.

It helped me hook up considerably, I can adjust the height and stiffen it right up and get the weight to transfer right onto the Tires. I managed to yank both front Wheels up..

Here is a pic, you can kinda see them..

****.. I need a sponsor for a Paint Job, that would be nice..lol

I decided not to put the Cage in it, and I changed the Rear Gears to 3.50's, so it will be more street efficient and inflict heavy pain on the highway..

That Torque Arm Mount is SOLID..

That is why the 12-Bolt doesn't have **** on the Moser, look how this goes on..

This is the Torque Arm Bracket..




And this is the Housing, and where it bolts to with I think what were 5/8" Bolts, 3 of them..



And then here is the Center Section..

No SFC Merv? Not worried about any chassis twisting? Also, I'm guessing a tunnel mounted torque arm. How good does that work out? Way better than stock?

It hits on everything, expecially on my Car with it as low as it is..

That is why in the pic you kinda see some Steel welded to the very bottom of it, I kinda engineered a skid-plate..lol

I like it, it takes all the stress off of the Tailshaft of the Transmission, and it's a solid piece. It's just mounted to some crappy mounts, and they actually ripped off the bottom of the Car, so that is something that I have to fix when I get home.
