Ordered the full set of aluminum blocks when I ordered my SCT410.3 as a lot of people break the plastic A block on that truck. The aluminum ones are so nice on my ET48.3 and EB 48.4 that I had to get them. Super nice, plus going from the plastic to aluminum C block on the SCT gives you 1 degree less anti squat which is key to help that truck jump better..
Very strong and looks cool, only problem is one screw in the middle of the bumper of the SCT410.3 doesn’t match up to the block, so the bumper isn’t attached to the block itself like it is on the stock composite brace. I did everything I could and the screw just won’t line up with the hole no matter how you turn the brace. The hole is too far below the bumper hole for the screw to line up. But not a huge problem, the bumper is still attached with the screws up top and the two screws on the bottom of the skid plate. Just don’t be surprised like me when the center screw don’t line up.
Stock plastic don't last long. Only gripe is price.
These wheels are awesome looking the only downside is they don't fit a tekno sct 410.3 like it says it does they rub on the rear arms its the webbing in them so I had to remove some material to make them work
Reviewers generally find the aluminum A-block brace strong and good-looking, and note it is a more durable alternative to the stock plastic part, which reviewers say can break. One reviewer reports the center bumper screw on an SCT410.3 does not line up with the brace hole, leaving the bumper attached only by other screws. Another reviewer criticises the price. One reviewer's comments concern wheels rather than the brace, reporting rubbing on the rear arms that required trimming material, so that feedback may relate to a different product. Overall sentiment is positive, with a fit issue and cost noted.
