Maybe I'm the only one here that is ignorant of this, so I'll be the fool to ask. Can you post a few pictures of it installed so we can see how exactly it reinforces the frame?

Click the link provided for more info fellas; this bracket is for use with a borgeson steering box only.

@Ridetech: what method of shipping do you use for Canada? I would prefer USPS if possible.

installation pictures and video coming up soon...possibly by tomorrow morning.

Pretty simple installation...the bracket bolts to the outside of the frame using the three outside steering box mounting holes. It bolts to the steering box via two of the top holes on the box. It helps spread the steering forces out over the whole frame section instead of just the inner wall. Noticeable and visible difference.

Sorry forgot it's name. It's called a Spreader Bar. The bigger engine won't clear the bar.

Perfect! That shows exactly what I was hoping to see. I'll certainly be ordering one when I do my Borgeson conversion.

Ridetech, if you can make a spreader bar for big blocks I'll be a buyer.

Copy paste from the 48 hour thread:

It looks like a great piece. Do you guys ship to Australia?

Could you guys please get some video of the steering box and frame section while someone turns the wheel at a stop or at low speed? I'd like to see just how much flex is reduced by the setup.

Cheers,
Matt

This looks like great addition but seriously 24.52 to ship to NJ.

I was asking if USPS shipping is available to Canada, instead of UPS!! Having anything shipped to Canada via UPS is very costly, as they charge ridiculous brokerage fees!!
