look at the constuction of the ones i posted to yours. see the difference? rough country does sell good stuff and alot of people run the same brackets as you with nothing but praise. I just dont like the looks of them. I will have about $10 in mine and maybe 6hrs. I will only have them on for 4-6 months untill funds allow me to build long arms.
will try to get some pics up tomorrow

post some pics of yours and we can compare. mine hopefully will get done tomorrow. the back braces wont be made until i actually get these things under one of my parts jeeps. just thought it would be easier to build them this way

I already made a second set. I am guna run them on one of my guys jeeps and mine to test them out for a few months before i would sell them though. Im guna see if they can handle jumps before i sell. monday night i will plasma cut stuff for shackle relocation brackets and make a few ones of those. those i will sell right away cause they are simple and will be stronger than stock
