Default Ruff stuff or Barnes 4wd

looking for a 8.8 swap brackets rear truss, front cross over steering with tre's and front and rear diff covers. Question is who's better out of the two company's? Barnes seems cheaper but is it as good as ruffstuff I know what they say, you get wha you pay for.

Barnes quality is top notch in my experience, plus better prices and free shipping, Barnes all the way.

I went with IRO's 8.8 swap brackets kit. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The brackets are very beefy. My price was great as I found the kit on Craigslist cheap. Just ordered from Ruff Stuff for the first time yesterday. Their shipping is definitely high. I ordered (4) poly bushings to replace the ones in my LCAs. $27 in parts, $12 in shipping! Still the cheapest I could find the bushings.
