Kyle, put me down for a set pending pictures. If I like what I see, I'll play. I want to see good quality materials and painted parts. (nothing that will rust). Also I want to see how they'll attach to the springs, I don't want it to pinch the leaf or put a stress fracture in the area where the mount goes. A pic is worth a thousands words. More than likely I'll buy a set but i'll be putting the truck away for winter in a few weeks here (pending salt on the roads). I could give you a review of them before that time if they were already done

John, to be honest I didn't really care for Chris's snippy attitute on the phone about not wanting to do a group purchase for us. He actually said "I'd rather not have the business and save myself from a headache than to try and collect money from everyone who says they're in." I thought that was kinda fugged up. But whatever. If Kyle has can make me something that doesn't involve removing my gas tank, I'm game as long as it works and looks good

You dont have to remove the gas tank haha. Also i am surprised with the shitty tude the guy had. They must still be doing ok in this shitty econ we have.

I know one thing that pisses me off is why can't any parts have a good quality powder coating finish on them.. My bars are stating to rust already...

No, from back in my Stock car racing days, I found it is a lot easier to get more grip if you have a little cushion to absorb the "hit" you get when you stab the throttle, letting the tires hook and not spin. The biggest thing these style bars do is stop axle wrap which cause wheel hop as the tires load and unload. That's what these style bars do since the pivot point is still the eye of the spring.
