Thanks for the writeup and the great pictures Hawg08. Glad you guys are happy with it. My only concern about that bolt being flipped upside down is that it would hold that dogbone brace down a little from not sitting entirely up inside the cross-member. IF the nut being on top is hitting the frame, than it probably is. If it is not hitting the frame, than no big deal. Enjoy the ride.

Group-Buy is over guys! Thanks to all that ordered at the discounted price. Hope you are enjoying it. To the ones still waiting, sorry everything got behind a day last week with the holiday. I sent emails to all of you Friday telling you it will be tomorrow before I get my hands on them. If you are still interested in buying one, go to www.throttleupindustries.com and purchase off of the website. Thanks again and take care!

I guess my two biggest questions on this particular one is
1. How much ground clearance do you loose? Is it going tear off going over a tall speed bump. Slow of course. We seem to have quite a few around here in the parking lots.
2. How much air flow / air movement around the oil pan is restricted.

To add one more thing, I was on an exit ramp yesterday and dragged my right floor board HARD and LONG. It didn't even come near my stabilizer, so clearance is good.
I didn't buy it for safety, but I wanted to cure the annoying wiggle in sweepers. I was used to it and never got in a pucker situation.
My point is that it doesn't take a high quality part or a well machined part to fix the problem. It isn't rocket science, nor does it need to be a part made to any strict tolerances. We've just been getting pimped by other high-dollar companies.

As far as the airflow goes, it sits about 1/4" below the pan so air can still move around it fine.

What type of jack are you using? The one I use has one of its rails resting up inside the crossmember. Can this stabilizer still be used with this type of lift?
