The topic that has been beaten to DEATH

Its not about breaking a leg its about the truck BLOWING UP

Based on what evidence do you suggest your truck will blow up? Lets not fight crazy with crazy. You anti-conspiracy conspirators act like the bump stop kits are made of flint daggers waiting to pierce the gas tank at any moment. THERE IS ALREADY A CROSS MEMBER GOING DIRECTLY OVER THE GAS TANK FROM THE FACTORY. The cross member created by the bump stop kits are over the top of the frame rails, no where NEAR the gas tank. In fact, your hot exhaust is MUCH closer.

Since pictures are worth a thousand words...

We can argue this all day long... during a crash nothing is set in stone.. anything can happen and, to try to make the frame and accessories crush away from the tank is not easy and anytime you change things back there you are asking for troubles... Not only stiffing the frame but, even after market exhaust can add to the problems during a crash. I worked on the police crown vic blowups and we found that the tools the police have stored in the trunk were the main cause of the vehicles blowing up. Ask and cop who is driving a crown vic.. in the trunk they are told not to store tools pointing towards the front of the vehicle and they now have a special form installed in the trunk to help keep the stuff in the trunk from puncturing through...
The kits I have looked at fit around the frame and have a cross-member across the top... Not only does it stiffen the frame and not let it crumble like its designed to but, there are bolts and sharp edges also ... I am Not saying that if you add this thing its a guaranteed you will die if you get hit in the back what I am saying is by adding it you have increased the chance greatly...
and really its no different than getting a truck and adding a 4in lift to it... You just increased the chance of it rolling over greatly...

No nerve... Just getting sick of others telling me what I can and cannot comment on. You know where the "back" button is if you don't like it.

That gold colored hardware might not be compatible with the frame steel. I'll check some bolts and post the Rb values, if this thread's still open tonight?

Yes, and where in this thread (or in the past months period) have I "cried about my frame bending and Ford not covering the cost"???

Enough said.

This just got WAAAAYYY more entertaining. BlueSTI you think you'd just give up as every time you bring this up it devolves into a shitfest. Not that I care, I think it's great entertainment.
