well they regula bracket that ur shocks mount to are only 1/8 think...these are 1/4 thick of carbon steel. so its seems pretty solid.

dude, the diamond j kits are SOLID. they dont bend, contrary to somes beliefs, there are a few people that bash on them, they hold up. they make a kit for yfz shocks too, i plan on getting it.

thanks for ur input...1/4 thich,they seem pretty solid,plus i dont do 20ft or more jumps..so im sure they would hold for trails and minor jumps.

 

[97BoredOutBlasta]

ya the material they use for those is stronger than anything on the blaster frame. they are tough frames anyways, but 1/4'' carbon steel plate...

i asked a simaliar question not to long back and tech blaster told me that there absolutely awesome no regrets..... im thinkin on gettin a kit myself...

 

[stephen12091985]

yea i have also heard from other people on here that they are solid and will not bend or break.

 

[Liquid5soul]

thanks for all the input guys,im about to order the kit now.

 

[djack12]

this kit is fine. i have one and it works perfect. the only complaint i have it that tie rod extensions they sell are a little weak.

 

[97BoredOutBlasta]

ya, but thats an easy upgrade...

 

[bigbadblaster200]

yeah but why would anybody want the front of there blaster 6 inches wider than there back i mean i would get an extended axel before i got anything

 

[97BoredOutBlasta]

because the front end is what gives you the most stability into corners, your rear end just follows.... but i would like a extended axle as well.

When yu flip your wheels it makes it 6in. Wider.

I have this on my daughters blaster! It is a good alternative! The tie rod extensions suck so i just ordered some new +3 tie rods from asr racing. If you were to paint or powder coat the kit you wouldnt even know it was aftermarket.. seemless. Extender kit and different offset rims and the blaster is sitting at 49" wide up front.. buy it you will like it

 

[blasterfreek30]

yes the kit works great, very solid i used it for about a year and beat the hell outta it, now batts the owner and he beats the hell outta it with no probs.........as said above the only issues is the weak tie rod extensions, they bend easily
