Midwest Chassis 2 piece race arm

Hey guys just thought I'd post up a couple shots of my new Midwest Chassis 2 piece race arm and crossmember. I bought this after fighting with my other torque arm on my quick performance 9". I ordered it back in January but because of covid and staff shortages it was backlogged. Build quality is absolutely amazing and I can firmly say it was definitely worth the wait on this beauty. It was a bit pricey but in my eyes totally worth every penny and highly recommend it to anybody going with a 9" rear end.

It does include powdercoating but I got them to ship it to me bare as they would've been another few weeks wait and I know a few guys that can coat it for me

Was your other torque arm hard to get on the QP diff?

Yea man there was all kinds of fitment issues. I hammered the floor and it kinda fit but still kinda hit. When I first got the QP rear I had stock springs out back, once lowered 1.5" it became a fkn nightmare. But I'm pulling it out and gonna just order up a Midwest Chassis fab 9" housing and axle package. Their rear goes in exactly how the 10 bolt came out. So I'll have a QP 9" housing and axle package for sale probably by next month. I should've just done this the first time. Live and learn I guess

I run Midwest Chassis long arm and crossmember on my 4th gen and a modded long arm with their controller arms and panhard bar on my third gen. All awesome pieces and great people to deal with

Nice man I just ordered up their fab 9 housing and axle package. I've currently got a quick performance 9" but I'm not enjoying the fitment anymore so I'm gonna pull it and sell it as a housing and axle package with the LS1 brake backing plates cause I'm not about to cut the bearings off
