Totally Polished watts link = $500
Speedway motors watts link = $70 not that the TP watts link is totally bad ass, but its alot of bling and alot of money. i modded my speedway watts link and it works great, 19" of lift and only moves 1/4" from center. plus, when your layed out, no one sees it. |

Sorry for Jacking.
But it's related : When mountin the bars in a watts do they have to be parallel 100%? ON the Speedway motors link do you have to mod the bars or just weld in ? |

you really should have them as close to parallel as you can... but it doesnt have to be 100%. If you want to, make it so that the top bar extends OVER the pivot, as to give more travel. The speedway bars you need to cut, they stick about 2" out each side of the frame. I shortened mine 3" each and re-threaded them(make sure you cut off the right handed threaded side, if not... good luck finding a left handed tap) and it worked great. 19" of lift and only goes 1/4" off center.

he made the brace. i also made my brace, it just follows the curve of the diff cover, the kit is designed to bolt through the diff cover, but its also designed for F*ord 9" rears which you could, but mine just goes over the diff and bolts 3 bolts top 3 bolts bottom to the diff cover.
