[QUOTE="Jroc, post: 12928980, member: 51847"] Extremely nice. It make the truck feel newer, or I guess more modern. Kind of like the next generation. You don't realize just how loose the stock chassis is over bumps, and dips until you install this thing. Everything just stays much flatter and feels more solid. Kind of like going from a 97-03 F150 to a 04+ F150, or going from a SN95 Mustang to a S197 Mustang. If you read Tim Skeltons thread on the old Kenny Brown X-Factor which this brace is designed after you can see in his first picture just how much the chassis actually twists and moves by looking at the bed in relation to the cab. It also talks about how the brace actually braces exactly where Ford added extra bracing on the newer/current chassis F150.(Obviously they are fully boxed chassis though) [url=http://www.timskelton.com/lightning/race_prep/suspension/x_factor.htm]Kenny Brown X-Factor[/url] Like I said it's very similar to the improvement a FLSFC gives to a old 79-04 Mustang. Everything is improved from the handling, to the ride, to launching better, and being more composed during braking. It seems like with this brace I'm getting a lot less brake dive and body roll in hard cornering. I'm very impressed with it. [/QUOTE]
