The "Stiffy" - Kafer Bar System

Picture
The all new state of the art Mendeola "Stiffy" is the first of it's kind. Traditional Kafer bar systems only tie in the frame horns and shock towers. This puts all the stress on the shock towers. We have found a way on IRS and Swing axle type 1 vehicles to fully trianglate the rear chassis, by adding two additional attachment points near the torsion tube, so while most kits only offer 4 attachment points, The Stiffy offers 6. 

This spreads the torsional loads through the entire rear frame work of the chassis like never before. The stiffy is made out of one inch .095 wall 4130 chromoly, along with all Clevis and Pins. 1/4 inch plate ties all the frame attachment points together. Stiffy are available in Silver, Black, and Red powder coat and can be ordered in custom colors for additional charge. 

Specs: 

  • 6 Attachment Points
  • .095 4130 Chromoly
  • 1/4" Plate ties
  • Available for all VW Chassis
  • 100% Bolt in
  • TIG Welded
  • Available in Silver, Red or Black. Custom colors avail.
