I'll definitely keep you guys updated with the before/after thoughts and some pics.

I did not have a chance to look at stranos site, I found these on ebay, brand new for $275 to my door. I couldnt pass that up. I am keeping an eye out for a 3pt strut tower brace as well. That is probably going to come after the torque arm and 4.10's.

Pointless waste of money, especially the "three-point" design.

Just do good work. I installed my Strano sways solo after my friend stood me up. It wasn't hard at all.

Make sure the brackets are not rusted or bent. Sometimes battery acid gets on the passenger side bracket and it gets nasty. I installed a set of the solid type bars on a friends car and he developed a banging noise after an HPDE day, so I put the car up on the rack and the bracket was bent and broken. I found Blane Fabrication and got him some reinforced ones... problem solved.

Oh, yea those could be kinda of heavy, so watch your head if working on your back.
