Had my on for 8ish months now. Not one issue. Top notch on the level. Only bad review is a guy that was jumping his truck at the dunes and the welds pop. Well, dont jump your truck at the dunes like a raptor with a pair of bilsteins and youll be fine

I've noticed no big difference in ride quality from stock. I have noticed that the handeling is much improved over stock.

Little bit more stiff from my fx4 shocks. Does not cause discomfort though.

Here are few from the install. Very simple to do if you have the right tools.

I'm going to get it aligned this week. It's not pulling to the right or left steering wheel is still straight. Anytime I do anything with the suspension on a vehicle I get it aligned
