Any benefits to runnung a PHB relo if I have TSP duals and no needs to run over the axle? I like the idea of getting rid of stamped steel, but if I won't benefit from it, I won't do it.

Any installed pics to share, beyond?

I'm not sure if it will help out noticeably but the relo is a stronger piece than the stamped for sure. If that alone will gain you anything I don't know since I did both at once. The rear overall just seems more stable. I will be going back to the shop in the next week or so I hope to do some other stuff and I will get some pics for you.

Thanks brother. I appreciate the response.

That's kinda my idea as well. The more stamped steel I can get rid of the better.

Now if Founder's would get the damned torque arm done!!

I'm thinking about getting it too, but I actually will be running TDs in the future. Will just look better and give that much more support. The adj. PHB is awesome for the price. No reason at all to pay more for the other sponsors more expensive parts IMO.

I went to Founders' site, but couldn't find the modified bar that attaches to the frame or obviously the price.

Guess I will call Founders instead and get pricing.

I am not happy with the competion style that actually lowers the panhard bar by adding lowering brackets. I think the Founder design is better.

With a single 3 inch over the axle exhaust pipe all that is needed is about an inch of additional clearance. The bend in the Founder design appears to accomplish that.

I have a FP PHB and UMI LCA's and my PHB was lighter than 1 LCA. 2 LCA's are about the length of 1 PHB. I'm just saying. Maybe they are using a different material. That being said after installing both my car feels much better.

Btw. The founders PHB is a great part at a great price, I had a UMI PHB in my 84 that took forever to line up and install, with two people yanking the rear around. The founders PHB lined up perfect and installed in 5 minutes.

I just installed Founders LCA's, PHB, and subframe connectors this week and they're awesome! Fitment was dead on and had no issues. I'm ready for their Torque Arm!
