The diff brace I mentioned is up for pre-order now here: https://idspeedshop.com/id-speed-2020-explorer-st-rear-diff-brace/
Use promo code No Fear for a price break…not sure how much.
These are the not yet anodized pre-production parts I had for testing. If you’ve seen the other diff braces on the market this doesn’t need an explanation.

The brace looks interesting. I was hoping it would be something that took advantage of the existing bolt hole in the differential cover which could be accomplished by a similar milled part with bushing mounted inside the subframe instead of under it; such that the bolt could go directly into the differential cover. However, if Ford has stopped making the differential covers with two bolt holes, then this is a more universal configuration.

I’m happy with my AWR mount but I sure would have waited for this product if I would have known it was coming. very nice!

It’s not a cheap part compared to the others…but the quality of construction and components put it far ahead of anything else on the market.

@UNBROKEN Is this brace being held together by that (1) bolt or am I missing something. I am also not a engineer so I may totally be missing something and could use some education.
But looking at other braces on the market, none of them pivot, so why are these (2) newer ones?

I didn’t design the part…I’m no engineer. But the 2 guys that spent a couple of months designing, 3D printing and testing it out are and they do this stuff for a living. I have to defer to their expertise.

Brakes look very nice. Sorry if his is a stupid question but how do the rear calipers deal with the E-Brake?

I think I forgot to mention the hot side piping from FenFab…that’ll be here next week. Just doing it to try to make the ugliest engine bay in history a little more interesting. 48B87761-4A87-481C-8874-B94A61DD2E69.jpeg

They supply a new EPB module with the kit.
Very nice. Should be a heck of an upgrade over even the RB ones. Look forward to hearing how you like them once they’re installed and you’ve had some driving time with them. Although I suspect I know what the answer is going to be since you don’t fly blind into these things.

This is actually my second set of these brakes. They stopped my Ram R/T on a dime. 8C58A97B-BA7A-40DE-BBD3-DCFCEB7816E5.jpeg D8B59E4C-D3AF-4CA0-A9F1-48D30CED4096.jpeg
