Default ore gusset install

hi, i was having a place install the evo gussets and they are having a hard time with them.. they said the gussets will kill the abs line in the factory location.. and make a bigger mess than they are worth , just wondering what everyone else is doing with the abs line ? or having problems with the install thanks

Thats a complete load of crap...I have installed 3 sets in my garage. I never had any of those issues they told you.

Go to a shop that knows what they are doing. The EVO gussets installed will not mess with the ABS system. and as far as a bigger mess....it makes it a cleaner and stronger set up.

The shop needs some understanding of what they are doing.

All i did when i welded mine is remove the abs line from the metal retainer while i was welding and snapped it back in when i was done. Seriously, i would go get the jeep from them and bring it to someone with an understanding of jeep stuff. If you lived around me and took the ball joints off, i would weld them for ya......(i must admit, i made sure you didnt live around me before i made that offer....)

Wouldn't think it would. Pretty sure WOL had c-gussets on his frt 44 when he did coilovers.
