LCA Relocation Bracket Failure

[sfadchi]

So I'm sure most of you've seen I'm making big power, and now the problem is putting it to the ground with out breaking things. Anyone have any suggestions or opinions on the best LCA brackets out there?

This is what happened to mine on the first pass with the new power!

Congratulations on having that much power. I've seen and heard of failures when the brackets were just bolted in but never a collapse like this.

The brackets I've seen all look similar. Could you reinforce the available brackets by welding on some plate to the sides? If there is enough room, adding some plate above and below the existing metal on the backside might help to "box" the bracket.

Of course, fixing one area transfers the problem to another. I'd do something to strengthen the front torque box. If not full frame connectors, I'd go with the Steeda triangular brackets.

BMR and weld them on !!!! As I did.

I have Steeda but also welded them on - no issues so far but a bit less power too. 784 rwhp on the street and mid 800's on the strip

Now I know why the BMR bracket has the back strap going up.
