Mid west with true duals??

Will it work? Seems my setup is hurting my power and I need to go to a true dual setup.

true duals is not a problem... i have a crossmember designed specifically for duals and still includes the d/s loop. this is for the short arms. if you have the long arm, it should still work, but the clearance when the car is jacked up is the only possible contact.

i will swap you out if the other one is in perfect condition... powdercoat still appears new. the crossmembers are 100.00 by themselves if needed.

True duals will work and clear with no problem on Erics torque arm. I have his rear and I am running a 3 inch X pipe with turn downs before the axle and it dosent hit or touch anywhere. Good luck!

Hey Eric,

Not to thread hijack but I have the tunnel mount crossmember. I currently have the slp subframe connectors that attach in that spot (I think). Do you see any problem with the length of the stock bolts to attach?

Thanks

depends on how thick the sfc brackets are, but if the tip of the bolt protrudes the weldnut on the bracket(visible on the pass. side) it should be fine. otherwise get a slightly longer 8mmx1.25 hardened metric bolt from a hardware store that will do the job.
