The added weight is well worth knowing that when that transbrake releases and your car dead hooks, that it aint gonna scatter **** across the track or street.

Great choices! I want a MWC 9" or Burkhart 9" and chromoly suspension and tq. arm to try and lighten my pig!

When you remove the bumper supports does it tend to make the bumpers flop around or look like they are sagging any?

Call Eric at Midwest Chassis, He has a Rear Bumper support I know and I think he offers a front. Great Customer Service. He can help you with all the parts you need to get that thing lighter and at a reasonable cost
