i'm gonna be using reduction gears in my zook and i've heard a lot of stories of people breaking cases/gears/mounts so i want to brace it so i don't have to worry about that happening
what can i do to stop that from happening?

Cheers

There are a couple of options - Get a rock toy ring from someone here or on Outers, then weld it ontp some other braces..
Or, buy a Might Kong bracket. That is the most expensive option at the moment because the dollar is so bad against the greenback.

I am. Welded the stock arms to it, and braced the stock arms. It's a bastard to fit in if you have no body lift. A little info here

i have 6.5s in my zuk with flatbar welded to my standard arms to stop twist.I am still using standard rubber mounts,but have 3 spare ones in the car that i made out of polyurethane.i watched a mate split his case so i got a roctoy ring and welded it to my existing arms,with a few extra little pieces.dont know how much it helped,but so far so good. I only run 31s and a cig rear locker,guess it depends on how you drive
