[QUOTE="Jack Hidley, post: 15094473, member: 17703"] We're not quite sure why Ford used two bolts at each end of the factory brace. The brace has very little bending stiffness due to its crimped design. One bolt at this connection is enough to provide adequate clamp laod to keep the joint from slipping. The Mm5KM-8 brackets are really a temporary solution for most customers. They allow the stock brace to be used along with the stock radiator core support and the MM k-member. We figure that most customers will install the MM radiator core support and then upgrade to the MM lower braces as well. These replace the stock Ford brace, joining the core support and the k-member. The MM design is much stiffer than the Ford design. The MM lower brace is not shipping yet. [/QUOTE]
