Does anyone have details on how hard or easy it is to put the gear box brace in on an 85. My porotioning valve is in that area.

My friend has a 92 Full size Blazer and he is using the ORD kit to convert if over to a straight front axle. We were working on it tonight (relaxing way to wrap up turkey day)
So far he is impressed with this kit.
As far as motor/tranny mounts I've always used Energy Suspension.
The engine crossmember they make for our truck is a great looking piece but I never really thought of the stock one as a weak link on our trucks.
The frame brace is definitely a worthwile investment.

ORD offers two different frame brace kits, which one would be better (besides price)? I would think the weld in plates would be stronger. I might call them to see what they say, but was wondering if anyone has actual experience with either kit.
