    which do you prefer? why? I have a djm now but the brackets interfere with my helper bags when it is down I was thinking of going with a bell tech which would be easier or I could do some fabbing on the djm kit.

    I like the belltech cause it boxes the frame for more support.

    I wish people were like slinkys, fun to play with but when I get bored I can push them down the stairs.

    WHAT I am talking about the way they are made they are made two completely different ways. I see a lot of people are voting and no one is giving explanations of why they like one or the other

    I "think" the DJM brackets allow adjustment of pinion angle, so shims are not necessary. I might be mistaken though. Which one is better for you depends on a few factors. The belltech brackets have no adjustment for pinion angle, so a shim might be necessary if you have vibration. With the DJM brackets, the pinion angle will have to be set properly, but shims won't be needed. Personally, I like the belltech brackets; there's less stuff to worry about if the u-bolts ever get loose. As far as quality, both are good; just depends on what you like. Good luck.
