Well those brackets are not quite as simple to install as advertised. They require some surgery to the inner wheel well to clear. I put mine on a Spit which I put the rotoflex rear in. The brackets are intended to bolt under the body mount bolts. Rather than pull the gas tank out of my Spit, I cut the brackets a bit, then welded them on (in addition to bolting through the shock mount on the frame. The mounts give much more clearance to the wheel and tire, but not a lot to the rotoflex. I still have to drive it to make sure there will be enough clearance during operation. I'll let you know. By the way, Rimmer left out 2 spacers in the kit which they had to send me later. The shipping was $71 for the kit. As long as it works it should be worth it.
