If you like weak torque arms, then they are definitely for you!

Found this in another thread. Jegs on top. Alston on bottom..



I'd get a UMI or BMR torque arm if I were you.

The other issue with the Jeg's arm is you need to drill quite a few holes in the tunnel to mount it. Most likely need to lift and remove the carpet to install it as well.

Is there is a reason you are looking at this set up?

Thanks,
Ryan
