This is step one for me in getting this kit where it needs to be. Out of the box TH isn't much. Great idea but poor quality. I would not recoment buying TH unless you have money to buy upgrades. Start with this. Solves one of the weakest point on the TH and it gives you upright shock mounts you are going to want. This bolts on direct using the screws from the part it replaces. For $25 it's a no brainer. Start with this and work from there. Good luck.
