Default BMR! build a torque arm conversion for the 8.8

I just saw the torque arm conversion kit for the 74-81 camaro, why can't you build something along the same design for the ford 8.8 to go in the 4th gens

It's not so simple. There's multiple versions of the 8.8. In addition, it is a different width than the 10 bolt, also... it needs to have shock and spring perches too.

You can do it, but its a lot of work.

I fabricate all sorts of stuff for my cars and I agree with you on this one. They're good rears, but not worth the fabrication for an F-Body.
