Does anyone have pics or feedback of this? I'm looking to remove my strait center link and go with one of Tony's braces. Not sure if it's worth the 70. For the roller bearing part. Thanks

I hare the old Teflon pad, no roller. Seems to work for my little 4x4 flooring it on street. The roller is a good idea and would have bought that when I got mine if that was an option

The bearing centers the load on the brace more so then the Teflon slider

The difference will be in lifespan. The roller won't wear out like the Teflon pad. It probably won't effect function at all.

After a year my Teflon pad is as new looking as the day I put it on, the key I getting the front diff where it rubs complete rounded and smooth

I agree, mine looks great as well. But some people have had theirs almost gone in a few thousand miles.

White truck I just bought has the roller installed, feels the same.

Mine as well just a small dent, it has between 250 and 300 launches on it. I did round the edges on the front diff though.
