    I'm going to be getting my front suspension soon, and I understand using the UCA Tower Gussets, and the install is pretty straight forward.

    I don't understand the cam tab gussets...do you just weld the plates over top of the hole? Someone please explain a little detail would be great thanks!

    pretty much, you grind off the stock pieces and weld on the new plates and tabs.

    TC does a really good job sending instructions with their kits

    you'll get some paper instructions along with your parts

    Okay, well that's good to know...so no one has tried to install TC UCA gussets with none TC UCA, cause the solo ones are double the price of the the TC.

    Interested to see how the Kyle Green ones turn out!
