    Any of you ultimate fabricators use Bend Tech software for your bad ass builds?

    I never have but it could help save some wasted tube for a newer fabricator. That being said I save all my wrong bends and write the degree on them. Helps a ton to be able to hold up a small piece and get it pretty close right off the bat.

    Although at home for my own truck I usually do paper fits with my woodyfab because deep down I'm just a cheap hack.

    I’m an amateur at bending. I don’t use software. I just check my measurements too many times. Notching is by far the most difficult part. I also keep a few bends in the garage and an angle finder.

    This series on YouTube is a huge help for getting started and making a few cheater pieces to get good estimates. He’s got a bunch more good videos explaining bending, notching and all sorts of fabrication tricks. This is part one of I think 3 parts for bending.

    The software is on sale, I'm thinking about it. Could use some new knowledge as my JD2 is on the way.

    So, while i had BK kit i was able to secure a non production secondary shock mount. Im curious to know if i can still use it with the TC Race kit. I guess the only real way is to place it and see what kind of angle im looking at for the shock through travel?

    Would be nice not to have to buy another mount to run a secondary.
