    should be right are you using 50 x25 x 3 RHS sliced on an angle.
    You'll also need the small weld on piece for the ball knuckles

    Have braced my front and rear diff. Haven't had any clearance issues as yet.
    IMO and should be taken with a grain of salt.

    Yep. Braced mine.
    Made absolutely no difference to clearance as you brace the top side, not the bottom.

    Nope. Just winged it and hoped for the best. But the last wheel alignment shows that both wheels are almost at 0 degrees so all good.

    How do you check for straightness?
