Default RE or Clayton

im in the market for a long arm lift and would like your opinion on the subject. im leaning toward Clayton, due to the fact that their 4.5in system seems pretty beefy and could hold up to some punishment. im not short on funds and would like your opinion/ideas.

I have the clayton kit and love it. Beat on it all the time and it never has let me down after 5 years! the RE kit is another great kit also. I like the belly pan system it uses.

Why you pay that price for one when you can build for own for a few hundred?


And if I was buying an off the shelf kit I would go Clayton. Just my .02.

there are many companies out there that do, you just have to hear of them. most are small fab shops.

but if you want to go with a good, but pricey name brand, go clayton.
