Whoa, whoa, whoa! I was just passing on what I was told by another fabricator doing a radius-arm SAS on an Xterra not 10 miles down the road from me, also using the factory crossmember location to locate one that incorporates the radius arm mounts. He just doesn't feel that there's enough strength there to take the load, but that's his opinion. I don't know squat about this sort of thing and don't pretend to.

I have no doubt at all that Calmini has put plenty of thought into this kit, and of course we're not seeing the final product. If there's any weakness here, I'm sure you will address it. And if there isn't, there's no need to get so defensive, just back up your assessment as I'm sure you can and there's nothing more to be said on the topic. I'm not trying to cast doubt on your engineering, just sharing what one of your fellow fabricators noted. Take it as you please, but don't kill the messenger.

Edit: I do see your point about being nagged about what is probably a non-issue or one that you would address on your own. That was not the intention at all.
