oh yeah? I hope it's still available by the time I buy it. Couple of things I need to knock out this year before going for the brace

Seeing your profile shouldn't air bags do that?

That Megan racing setup doesn't really fit as well as I would have liked. There was a lot of new noise after I installed the front piece. And the rear section of the kit didn't make sense as far as the longer three bolt piece. I didn't know where to bolt the third cutter bolt to. So they are just sitting in my warehouse in the box. I did use the rear center section brace though.

This is the orientation to install the parts. See link below:

As for noise in the front I didn't experience any. I had a friend modified my front brace to fit the AWD though. You can search my previous post to see it.
