Chrome moly worth it?

[GottaHaveLS1]

I'm looking to get a BMR STB. It's 30$ more for the chrome moly version. Is it worth it?

it's lighter for the same amount of strength as offered by the mild steel version. if you are concerned about maybe 5 lbs difference, sure.

I don't care about weight at all... I thought chrome moly was supposed to be stronger...

Strengthen your front subframe assembly and minimize tower deflection by tying the shock mounts together. Standard model is made with strong 1/4" mounting plates and 1.25" x .095" tubing while the chrome moly version is 1.25" x .065" tubing to insure zero deflection under load.

same diameter thinner tubing.
