Not trying to be completely impatient, any update of how things are going. My wife is out of town this week and if I'm going to spend more money would rather do it now :).

Got the brackets in, but my shop is currently full of Corvette so I haven't had the chance to install them yet. The goal is to get them done before next week...

I'm taking a 400+ miles run this weekend and will have one on Monday hopefully. Needs a good shake down.

any feed back?
maybe you know the answer... can you do a 5" drop on the rear with these "no cut" brackets?

so far I think everything is good. I am trying to find out if the vibration I have a 40 -45 mph is a tire balance issue or pinion angle. I rotated the tires at the same time the brackets were installed. Anything above 45 is smooth.
Ryan said they will work for 4" to 5" rear drop.

Yes,but the "Cut" versions would be your better choice.

I thought about getting the "cut" version but I don't want to cut off any factory parts. Just in case I want to return it to factory settings. "sale purposes"

I want to do a 3 inch drop in the rear...will the no cut brackets work with that?
Also, I am going to do a whipple charger this summer...will these brackets hold that power?

On a 3" drop you'll be good with the No Cut versions. Yes they'll hold the power generated by a blower. Basically they're identical to the factory brackets,and they work in a double shear,i'd lay odds you'd twist an axle long before you ever hurt the brackets.

My brackets should be in Friday and doing the install this weekend. Razor1 please let me know if you find anything I should look out for. Thanks

Will do. As of now , nothing to complain about everything is working great.. Make sure you have a sharp 5/8" bit and maybe a step bit also.

Good advice on the step bit I went threw 2 5/8 titanium bits before trying it. Everything went much easier after switching. Hell of an install blew up 2 impact wrenches and my short 90 degree drill but worth it.
