Here is a link to a DIY 8 Rib kit

I would also suggest like others have to check your pulley alignment.
the UPR tensioner works very well, the Steeda looks like you need a 1/4" extension on your breaker bar.There is not much room for a 1/4" extension between your tensioner and your radiator.

Get a 1/2" extendable ratchet from Harbor Freight and keep it in your trunk

If he's already got a thump and is still shredding belts, then no aftermarket tensioner will fix the problem. Alignment of at least one of his pulleys is definitely off.

Lol, designed a competitor? Tell me, what's the failure rate on the thump? I'm not gonna bash the two-stock-tensioners setup because I've never personally used it, but the thump works fine for everyone who uses it.

I use a Thumper tensioner and it works very well, never a problem.They are pricey tho.There are other tensioners out there that will do the job for a little less money.
