Tying the left & right side of the body together, adding structural strength and providing more than floorboard sheet metal to secure the torque arm to is a wise idea.

I have no problem working on my car with this setup or jacking up one side of the car. I do it all the time.

Yea, thats why theres a ton of cars running single digets on the "weak floorboards" So should everyone stick with a 10 bolt also?

Other then that sweet parts!! Why no rod-ends thou?
