Exactly. You can potentially bend or otherwise booger up the rear of your IFS if you come down hard on it because there is no brace/crossmember like in the front. The brace fixes that. Downey used to make them before they went belly up and that is what I had. It was pretty cheesy compared to the Sonoran Steel piece but I got mine before Steve started making his. That said, it seemed to do it's job. Below is a pic of my front and rear braces, removed during SAS. They are beat to crap but my truck stayed aligned etc.
Thanks, and i just did some research, and it really seems like a good investment. I wouldnt order the wrong aussie, im sort of OCD about that stuff, but thanks anyway.

EDIT: Thats amazing how well those held up.

Got the wheels on friday, i just got them cleaned up. EDIT: They need to have a little buffing compound taken to them.




All they need is the center piece of the valve stems.

ALRIGHT!!!
Pretty soon your gonna have a horrible disease. The wheelin' bug...DADADUM!
Symptoms:
1. Frequenting Yotatech (I still got a chevy, and I am still on Yotatech, don't worry I am looking for another yota)
2. Staying awake to late hours of the night thinking about lockers n' such
3. Paying for upgrades with your credit card (if you have one) that you cannot possibly afford, hey it's like free money right?
4. Notice a very high bank account number, then realize the negative sign in front of that number.
5. Your GF, Relatives, and friends who do not have the bug, will constantly be changing the subject because all you can think about is your truck and what your planning on doing to it next.

There are indeed more, you have to watch out, there is no vaccination for this disease.

Yup, basically. But it's also a great way to put names to faces and hang out while vital22re sets up camp and makes hotdogs! Plus we'd like to get as many Yotatechers there too! Besides, its a great cause to boot!

It's ok, you cold be here in the north east, where toyota support is pretty much non-existent, and people are very snobby and rude. So I cook them up and put them in my stew

I think your current rims on your rig look way better than those ugly black walmart rims.
