[QUOTE="Tob, post: 14466455, member: 83412"] Au contraire:uh oh:. I purposely left that "creation" and others like it outside the scope of this discussion. Some might consider it for drag racing but I wouldn't consider it for anything other than scrap value. That is a pretzel waiting to happen and I know you can see why. You're seeing it my man. Exactly what I was thinking. And while I can follow the argument Bad Company's mechanic was making, the implication is that there has to be flex somewhere when a rigid K-member and factory chassis are mated. I don't see a more rigid rear mount transferring to overly excessive loads being shifted to the front K-member mounts. The energy it takes to deform the factory floorpan is distributed over a larger surface which handles the load. The same leverage is there, just a more rigid structure would be in place that previously allowed deflection or deformation. [/QUOTE]
