Although I have a bmr xtreme at the moment, I, along with most the people in the drag section will say MADMAN all the way !!! Excellent product with tons of adjustability, and from what I've read time and time again, best of the best tuning support.

I just installed mine from Mid West Chassis, they are also a sight sponsor and it is a three way adjustable tunnel mount. I love it and they do awesome work...

How many best this or best that threads does it take for people to read and realize, there are different parts for different applications? IF one were ever BEST, then everyone would copy it and there would be no variety. Granted the stock stamped one is fine if you're just picking up the kids from school every other day, but you didn't say you were autocrossing, drag racing, drifting or any application. Plans?

MADMAN !!!

The help you get from him after the purchase is worth 10x what you will pay for any TQ arm. He has helped us go 1.18 60' on a 275 DR.

We can set you up with a nice little package deal if needed.



But if you do not need relocation brackets, and LCA you still get the bolt in torque arm with a cross member and drive shaft loop. We have a bolt in ARB that works for any housing on the market and no exhaust issues either.
