Nice choice on TTB swapping it. Did you make a TTB crossmember like JAX Motorsports sold for ttb swap XJ or how did you do the beam pivots on this and what's plan for steering?

Nice. I know they no longer sell them. I wonder why. I'm guessing customer service on that kind of part is a time vampire

Yeah i tried asking them a few questions and they act like they know nothing about it, idk if the original designer of it quit or what but theres no information on these

Yeah I can see that. I asked TE designs about their Chevy kit but they didn't know anything since the new owner of the business wasn't working with the business when the kit was developed and sold.

I want to make a part like that to sell/offer but I will have to be very clear that it's designed for a customer to install and all i know is that I made it to fit their application. No idea what other work was needed to be done to make the job complete.
