As I said, my sister did this sometime before she blew up the engine circa 2000 ish...... I bet she has NO idea this happened... I can't find the pic but they are actually two "V" braced that bolt up on the K member.... I little bit of sourcing I have done shows them unobtainable.......

I would just purchase the MM lower 4 pt brace.

One of the street racing shows had a Mustang with a tubular K member. It landed hard after lifting the wheels far in the air and probably scaring the young driver. The front end spread out like it was doing the splits. A buddy with a frame shop somehow brought it back. I do not think the weight savings were worth it.

We have smacked down with the race cars from riding the bumper and not bent anything . I drive my upr k member on NYC Roads with no issue as well .

If you slam anything down hard enough it’ll screw things up, not necessarily the k members fault.

Once you go tubular k member you’ll never want to mess with a stock one ever again.

Whatever they were using must not have been a UPR product. It did not bounce like a low rider.
