getting ready to build first x6 squared

[Timee80]

got a ex con b4 ft and just bought my x6 squared kit. Do i need to buy the e-speed motor plate brace? Wouldnt a longer screw and a nut work just as well? I dont mind buying parts that make a difference but not bothered about spending just on bling. Are the hangers really necessary?
Ive got the longer axles and extra bearings but do i NEED to buy anything else?. Ive decided im running ae shocks by the way

The plastic motor brace flexes some. The ESpeed brace takes away that little bit of flex.

everyone seems to be moving to plastics nowadays to get a bit more flex so does that little bit matter?

Your suggestion works with bolts and nuts, that's currently how my truck is as I've never got round to getting the E speed one.

Honestly though, assuming you're UK based the hangers ARE essential really yes, they improve the handling significantly.

I don't run the AE shocks but you've be wise to try to get as much droop as possible with them which if you wind the bottoms out and run no limiters means you'll need the optional axles. That's assuming you're running outdoors, if you're an indoor only guy this is not so essential.

Dremel would be a wise investment

why would i need a dremel?. I thought the new kits were better fineshed
