I think you missed his point.
Besides, while that is my biggest complaint of the kit, you also noticed how they mounted it so you should also notice that that little shock mount is the main support for the coil bucket so I'm confident the bracket can hold it. The bolt itself more than likely will hold but only time will tell.
I have had this truck jumping in the dunes and doing 50 60 mph down the woops just like their vid shows and have zero problems. I also tow a 16K# 5r and have zero problems. Before I had this lift I had a superlift on it and just very mild off roading and towing the 5r it was ripping itself apart and I only have 35's.
The point here is that if you get or build something that has the proper engineering invested in it the drivability and reliability are back into control again. Looking at that kit from the pics posted in this thread there are only a few things I would change on it. It looks very well designed. Would I buy it personally? No it wouldn't work for what I use my truck for. That does not mean I don't think its well built. I think we all can agree that if you do serious offroading something is gonna break there will always be a weak link somewhere. It's just a matter of finding it.
Maybe my other post did come off like dad in all his wisdom and experience. But I was surprised to hear Blue wanted to take this direction after all he talked about in other threads. And so I was just giving my oppinion nothing more. It was in no way a dig at the capability or quality of the equipment. Thats the great thing about forums they are a place to share oppinions and ideas and advice. The ability to read through and see what fits your needs, and helps you the most is the hard part but can really be a great help and save people from wasting time, energy and most important to most, money.
And off rant, hope all this makes sense.
