porterbuilt question

what is the inner brace section called in this pic? Is it part of the front or rear suspension kit? Looks like it's at least part tranny mount, TIA:metal:

Re: porterbuilt question

I don't know the official name for it, but in addition to serving as the tranny mount, it stiffens the frame...

I bet Nate would know. Post in the suspension forum, Pm or call him or Dave. They just might have the correct answer.

Re: porterbuilt question

I like the whole set up. Any more info on this set up? Is that a trailing arm coming of the back of it or just more bracing?

We call it an inner frame stiffener. We will hoping to be offering it as a production part sometime this year. There will be two specific variations... one for four-link (like the one pictured) and one for trailing arms (that will have a slightly different rear tube configuration).
