There's a company called Stifflers, that sells chassis braces for Lightnings and Harley F150s. Im trying to work with him to get a 4R70w Xbrace built, he needs a test vehicle for a couple days to mock up a system and take measurements.

He would need a 4R70w 01-03 Screw, or a 97-03 Extended cab 6.5'


He's exetended a very generous offer for whomever would be able to loan a truck. He's offered the Xbrace at a big discount.

His website: http://buystifflers.com/


This is his teaser of the 4R100 (Harley Davidson Screw) Xbrace with optional driveshaft loop

I wish I could get one for my truck!!!

Hopefully someone here can help you out pat, i'm extremely jealous.... =[

 

bump, help a brotha out!!

 

Patman, been lurking and reading about Stifflers x-brace on LightninRodders forum as well. I have the E4OD transmission instead of the 4r70w. Based on your conversations with Brian, do you think the Harley kit would work for me? My truck is a '97 supercab.

Hope you can find someone to help you out, either way.

 

The harley xbrace should fit on a extended cab 6.5' bed with the 4R100 trans

 

That's what I am thinking. I emailed Stifflers and Brian responded that the brace was designed for use with the 4r70 which is shorter than the E4OD/4R100 (but if that was the case you wouldn't need a volunteer to loan their truck, right).

I didn't want to question his work, but hoping it was just late and he was low on coffee.

Do/did HD trucks primarily come equipped with the 4R100?

 

yes all of the 02/03 SC'd harleys are backed by the 4R100 just like the lightnings are

not sure about the 00-01 N/A 5.4 Harleys tho

 

o too bad I sold my supercab. May not have had the right transmission though. Plainfield is right down the road from me.

 

Thanks Patman for the info. Hope Stifflers can get you hooked up.
