what is the IRS bracket? What does it do?

 

[dustin]

Somebody stole it for $44!....

I paid $120 for mine when Doug had them on sale...

 

[Kysnake03]

Hey Dustin, I think you bought the diff. cover. These were support brackets that were 50$ new.

 

[Cobra_im]

can someone post a pict of them? I have the differential brace but not the irs bracket

 

[COBRA504]

how much?

 

[JoeNashville]

Hey Dustin, I think you bought the diff. cover. These were support brackets that were 50$ new.

Nope, he's right...Doug made us some cover braces that were $120 advance purchase and $150 to the slackers that came along later. Laurel Mtn Mustang sells a totally inferior knockoff that's not even worth installing for $89 on fleabay.

Doug's diff cover was solid billet aluminum and was $1000.

In looking at your pic, all I see are bags of bolts that came with the Billetflow bracket. Doug's bracket for us looked like this:

Doesn't matter now anyway...it's sold.

 

[Jdaniel]

Thats because he is selling the IRS BRACKETS... not the IRS brace. Two different things.

Irs Brackets

well what are the brackets? IRS BRACKETS

 

[JoeNashville]

Yep, educate us. I'm VERY familiar with the IRS, I even know who the Tier 1 supplier was for the IRS to Ford...but I don't know what the IRS BRACKETS are. There are 2 as an attachment method to the car...but Doug doesn't usually mess with stuff like that. We didn't have any failures on those brackets.

Soooooooo...do tell.

 

[Kysnake03]

In the ebay add, he said he paid 50$ new !! It also says subframe support brackets.

Doug makes "IRS Brackets" They are bolt on metal plates to strengthen the joint where the upper IRS arms attach to the chassis.

Here's a link to Billetflow's page on them.

so what does it do? If you get the IRS bracket? what part of the car does it strengthen and do we really need it? Very good explanation by the way :burnout:

 

[JoeNashville]

Guys, you mean THESE:

LOL, I never knew that Doug made those for us. Funnier yet, is that anybody bought them. I gotta hand it to ya Doug...you're a Super Salesman buddy! ;-)

 

[Cobra_im]

so what do they do? do you really need them (LOL)

 

[lukem80]

so what do they do? do you really need them (LOL)

looks like they replace that one bolt that rubs the tire with three and a bigger bracket.

 

[JoeNashville]

They don't do anything, they aren't in the line of shear that the IRS would generate except in a 1500 RWHP car...but Doug has done a super job of selling them. If I could invest $5 in something and sell it for $50, you bet I would do it too.

We had the one bolt that rubs the tire problem solved 2 years ago.

 

[Jdaniel]

Well how did you solve it cause I would LOVE to mount 335's on my car again!!! LOL
