ECE trailing arm reinforcemnt kit? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just wondering your thoughts on this kit. Is it worth doing?

I will be lowering my SWB 2wd truck and plan on towing a race car with it from time to time.

ECE Kit

If you are going to be running high horsepower they are probably a good idea if you don't have ¾ton arms (they are already reinforced). They probably won't make that much difference just for occasional towing.

Thanks.
The powerplant isn't determined just yet - I'm a ways from that

Yes, but not as much as the ECE kit.

I seperated mine because of some rust, then welded the top and bottom seams completely shut, I wouldn't go put them on unless you were hauling something insanely heavy.
