    I have the Steeda one and it has an extra triangulated support on it. Look at a picture of each and you will see it. It was a bitch to put on, even having a rack it still sucked!

    Hum...Shop says that the Billetflow one went on pretty easily.

    I got to see Brakelates brace last night....although not on a lift, I couldnt tell any difference or see the entire picture between the two.

    I just dont want the car to PEE anymore!

    I'm wondering if the brace transfers more of the vibe noise from the 4.10's to the body of the car?

    Brace looked pretty stout, but the gears make the whole back half of the body drum, not like my '01 where the vibes from the 4.30's were basically isolated.

    Crossing my fingers and hoping mine dosn't start leaking.

    I would say no since it only bolts to the rear. There is no connection to the body, so the noise should remain the same.

    Well, the diff brace bolts to the IRS cage and the cage bolts to the body.

    I'm also going back and forth over installing the Poly bushings for the IRS cage for the exact same reasons.

    I have both the polyurethane bushings and the weld in brackets that go above the upper rear (fenderwell) IRS mount.

    Anyone else using those?
