Man that sucks! Would a brace have helped at all do you think?

BTW, the pics worked fine for me.

Can you please explain why it wasn't quite right? I'm planning on leaving the 3.42's however, there's a few guys twisting my arm to get the 4.10's. What wasn't right, i've gotta know before i install the gear, im sending the stuff off to Rodney tomorrow.
