Benefit: Increased frame structure strength at high stress areas. CROSS MEMBERS First cross member 25” from spring to shackle First cross member is 70” from spring to shackle Presenter: Brian Caudell FCCC: Additional cross members at transmission and body mounting outriggers. Benefit- Increased frame structure strength at high stress area. Benefit: Increased frame structure strength at high stress areas.

FRONT SUSPENSION RIGIDITY Front spring bracket utilizes HuckSpin fasteners Front spring bracket w/ automotive-style mounting Presenter: Brian Caudell Benefit: Frame rigidity at high frame torque area utilizing permanent attachment hardware - eliminates service maintenance.

Benefit: Reduced maintenance and replacement costs of frame hardware. FASTENERS Grade 8 bolts with hardened fasteners provide stable clamp load; Zinc-coated fasteners resist rust; Wrench hex head fasteners with hardened washers provide a more consistent torque Flange head hardware fasteners are susceptible to torque and clamp load loss; Not zinc coated for rust prevention Presenter: Brian Caudell FCCC: -Benefit: Lower maintenance to recheck/torque frame hardware and replacement with rust issues. -Grade 8 bolts with hardened fasteners provide a stable clamp load and Zinc coated fasteners resist rust. -Wrench hex head fasteners with hardened washers provide a more consistent torque. Benefit: Reduced maintenance and replacement costs of frame hardware.

Benefit: Increased frame strength and elimination of frame fractures. One frame fits all; multiple unused holes in web Frame web holes are punched per customer specifications; no unused frame holes FRAME HOLES Presenter: Brian Caudell FCCC: 50,000 PSI frame rail Ford: 36,000 PSI frame rail Benefit: Increased frame strength and elimination of frame fractures.

Steering gear mounted directly to frame Steering gear is mounted to an adapter plate Presenter: Brian Caudell FCCC: increased bolt clamp load retention. Benefit: Steering system is custom designed for the application with no adaptation required – offers improved safety and increased mounting system robustness.

REAR BRAKES Rear brakes mounted on rear of axle; Brake lines routed cleanly Presenter: Brian Caudell Benefit: Reduced maintenance cost to replace brakes and improved safety with protection of brake lines from road debris. Rear brakes mounted on front of axle; Brake lines are exposed Benefit: Reduced maintenance cost to replace brakes; improved safety with protection of brake lines from road debris and road chemical corrosion.

Benefit: Improved protection from road debris and corrosion. DUST SHIELDS Front rotors have ABS sensors with dust shields Front brakes do not have dust shields Presenter: Brian Caudell Benefit: Improved protection from road debris and corrosion. Benefit: Improved protection from road debris and corrosion.

ABS SENSORS ABS sensors on front only; could not find sensors on the rear. 4-wheel ABS brakes with sensors on all four corners Presenter: Brian Caudell Benefit: Improved safety and vehicle stability during emergency stopping event. Benefit: Improved safety and vehicle stability during emergency stopping event.
