Can't wait!

Hopefully a few good shots horizontally as well to see ground clearance with the relocation crossmember.

Sounds good. Very curious to see what the TA/Crossmember looks like.

Credit card sitting, waiting to order!

^^^^^

Is this Founders torque arm going to be a chassis/short mount piece? Or is it full length?

Sorry for the poor quality photos. We decided to make them fit the factory trans mount at this time. The relocation kits will be coming in a little while.

Few key features we have:

Bungs are rosette welded in place not just welded around the tube.
Center support section captures the bungs as added bung support for added strength.
Transmission side is a double tube design for extra strength on the front side.
Double tube also captures the bung area for added strength.
Transmission side uses a 5/8" grade 8 bolt that threads past the double tube mount for a solid front mount. (not just one piece of 1.25" tube taking all the load.)

Ooooooo

I'm not going to be in the market for one for a while, so I haven't been too concerned about time, but curious when you think they'll be available? Pricing? Which rears are these compatible with?

What style bushing are you guys using at the transmission? Are you using a round hole for the torque arm to pass through, or the squiggly slot like the factory?
