Hey everyone. I was wondering if any of you have put the brace piece on your 8 3/4's. If anyone that has could, could you please get me some pics of it? I would like them from all angles. I want to build one for my car and would like to get some ideas. Thanks, Jeremy

And why we're at it, is it worth it to put it on?

Mancini Racing has a weld on brace for the 8 3/4. It's 80 bucks. But if you have some 2X3 tube you could make your own easy enough. For about 10 bucks if you get the metal at a scrap yard.

Thanks for the ideas guys. I think I am going to have to wait before I build it. I want to run a rear sway bar at some point and I see that there could be clearance issues with the shocks too. But I will figure it out. I really like the look of the brace and hope that it will make the rear more sturdy, not that the 8 3/4's aren't.
