SUA U-Bolt Plate

[70CRZR]

Anyone make or use something similiar to this JKS setup ? I just can't see spending so much for the Man-a-Fre plates.

I like U bolt flip kits instead of plates. Man a fre 4 plus is the nicest I think; mine is a one off custom and very heavy duty like the Man a fre. Probly more expensive, though; get a second mortgage on your home.

do any of our resident fabricators make ones that don't cost a fortune like the 4+, lcah, $or? price is why i don't have any.

I have a PO home-made setup on my 55. That said,

A few years back on the LCML a lister was driving his 40 with these style plates. One had bent, his center pin had wobbed around until it broke, and at something like 40mph the front tire rammed into the back of the front fender veering the truck into a pole.

If you make them, add plenty of gussets.

edit: these are nice!
