Rear Shock Tower from Pirate Lab

Post by tcm glx »

So..... I had my brothers Bronco over at Pirate Lab having a rear bumper done, and I asked them to look at doing a rear shock bar for me as well..... so they ran out of tim to get it done before the B500.... I get a call from them today, and they still worked on it, finished it, and as a bonus, powdercoated it for me for free since it was not done pre b500.

I am thoroughly pleased with it!

I like how it sandwiches the frame with the two plates and eliminates the center clamp. Very cool!

Any install updates on this yet? I would like to see how it mounts up as this is the step I am at for my rear end.

None, actually probably won't mount this up for a month or so, not really in a big rush since the vehicle already has a set of 5100s on the rear.

Hit up the blue one in the classifieds. That color would go good under Jessica, but knowing you it would get re-coated...

Doing a Southwest Performance 2 link. Keifer will also do the install, and limit straps.
