Getting any closer? Stocking stuffer perhaps?

Probably not going to be stocking stuffers but a new years gift to yourselves. I will be shipping them as the forth opp completes each lower and final brace. I will be shipping starting from the top of our list and going down the line as each lower and final brace is complete. Thanks for everyone's patients

Any updates on the timeline of when the braces will be produced?

When it comes time to install these, is frame support needed? ie should the jack point below the fire wall be used to provide some lift to the middle of the car? And / or should ya just do 1 brace at a time? Or is none of that needed, just un-bolt all 4 and pop the new ones in?

Oh ... or are instructions included?

I'm just picturing removing 1 and the center of the car sags!

It won’t sag. The rest of the structure is pretty stout. Think about the X1’s.

OK Pete. I know you know better than that. You know it will sag.....some. The question is how much.

 

[PeteK]

A few thou? Only one way to find out!

So for anyone who has installed these, what is the procedure? I'm getting a little concerned...

unbolt the OEM and bolt the new braces on. I suggest having a blanket under your work area just in case you drop something and be careful of the rear glass during the install.

The day has finally come for the first seven on the list (Thank you for your patience). I will start the shipping process this week after payments are made and PM's will go out. All other orders will follow as soon as they are complete. Unfortunately we need to add $140 to each order as the material, labor and hardware has gone up. If you have changed your mind please let me know so I can move down the list. Thanks again!

Unable to reach Ravage via PM. Please reach out to me soon or I will go down the list to the next person.

Do you install them one at a time as people above are suggesting so there is no sagging occurring? If so, what is the best order to do it? Do you recommend something like lower driver side, upper passenger side, etc?

OMG, that figures! I'm 8th on the list I'm ready to pay immediately, if somebody above me bails out ...

Install them one side at a time installing the bottom first and the top last. No sagging will occur.
