And don't forget the t-shirt for Ray and I !! :)

Good luck with the presentation Kelly.
Good luck Kelly! Maybe if he sells more than 50 pieces (which we all can see will be easy) maybe something added with a T-shirt like some BMR Stickers. On the shirt it should read something like " If it wasnt for these two persistent bastards, it wouldnt have happened. Love you guys, Kelly @ BMR"!! LOL!! Any ideas?

Maybe I should rethink my order I just placed for relocate brackets today. :)

Nah, I'll wait, just keep the pressure up.

My question is, why?

Aren't there plenty of options out there? What is it that you guys don't like about the other options? Do you just like BMR that much? Do you not like using the other company's products? Are their designs poor? All the above?

To be honest, if you guys made one I would choose your product over someone else. I don't know a whole lot about this sort of stuff so that fact that you are here all the time even at night and on the weekends really means something to me that for you helping people just doesn't end when your work day is over. You give a lot of advise and if anyone has a suspension question you are all over it and answering them. That is why I plan on sticking with BMR for all my suspension components. With BMR we know that we are getting a great product that has been thoroughly tested and that no shortcuts were taken and an axle tube brace made by you guys would no doubt be top notch. I can see why you wouldn't make one as the points you brought up in the bent axle thread seem to make sense but there is also a demand for it and it could be something that you guys could build that would give those that have your relocation brackets another option besides welding the tubes. That is just my 2c though.

Yep. CHE makes a good product, but they don't support the forum and the guys on the forum like you do.

Anyone install their CHE brace with the stock diff cover? Mine has a lip on the outside that bends towards the back of the car which would make the diff bracket not sit flush...

If i twist an axle tube BMR is paying for it. Its gonna be their fault for not creating a brace to help keep it from happening. I will blame Kelly!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have installed the CHE axle brace and just bought a set of BMR LCA relocation brackets. I had to modify the brackets to work with the axle brace and weld them in. I'll get some pics up when it's done, I have the LCA brackets tacked in right now to verified the geomtry was right, now I just need to finish welding them in. and then reinstall the axlebrace.

what would be kickass is, if BMR made a single peice unit that included a LCA relocation bracket and an axlebrace as one unit.
