Torsion brackets, WTF??

Ok, so on my yota i bought torsion brackets from fbi, and ended up tearing my frame like 3 times... well going to buy another kit for the dawg, i decide to read the write up on them from fbis site...

Our torsion bar Airbag Brackets are built to adapt to most torsion bar equipped trucks, which include Nissans, Toyota's up to 95, Isuzu's, Mazda's, Ford's 82 and earlier, and Chevy's 81 and earlier. Our Brackets utilize a lower plate for the control arm and an upper frame-mounted plate with triangular gussets for reinforcement. All holes for the Airbag are slotted for maximum adjustability after installation, as space can be kind of tight on most trucks. Unlike some Brackets on the market, ours do not bolt into the upper shock tower mount! These brackets have been known to fail in catastrophic ways, tearing the tower from the frame! These Brackets are a weld-on application, and should be installed by an experienced welder.

i was thinkin that most likely it was my fault being my frist bagged truck and grinded my frame too much making it weak, but now im wondering, are all these kits the same?

As far as I've seen the torsion kits are all the same.

I thought so, Well think so too, lol

Under the lower gussets i welded a plate on the frame to help keep it from tearing in the area. From reading and talking to people once you take all the bumps off and get it ground there is a stock hole in the frame i was told plate that up so i just made the plate wide enough to take the supports for the upper plate. Also looking at the upper control arm mount once all is cut away it kinda leaves that weak also. I made sure i tied my upper plate into the upper a arm mount to keep it from flexing.. Hope this helps, Craig

i plated the "hole" too, with 3/16"s plate. so that wasnt the deal, i dunno...

ya most of the kits are the same not much differents at all

f*ck it

I think I have 2 extra kits bro so I will pack it up with the rest of the other stuff and ship it out I guess i will price it like you did to me you bastard. LOL hahahahahahaha
