You are going to get a whole lot of opinions here. Bottom line unless the person has used their products their thoughts are pretty much useless. I have never used any of their steering and suspension parts. I know KTM used their springs once. So my best advice if someone says they suck and they have never used their product ignore them as their thoughts have no constructive use.

their parts rust and need rebuilding more often than some of their competitiors lifts/ products. but everyone has different experiences and uses their vehicles in different manners.. just think, if you gotta spend a little more money now, youre not going to have to later on. just my two cents. good luck

i run their coil springs and love them, nice and plush but handle well. i live in the desert and do not notice any powder coat wear (still back IF i was them lol) i also run their shocks. i like them. their sway bar disconnects are not the best design if you are constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. i rarely disconnect mine so it doesnt bother me to much. their customer service is really good too, call them with a problem with their product and they will work to fix it on their dime

my coils never sagged but were super stiff. rear leafs sagged probably an inch before my passenger snapped. i snapped their track bar. the steering conversion danced around so bad on the trail and rolled on the road causing a huge dead spot in the steering. i ordered RR steering box brace from qtec but they sent me a rusty's instead. wouldnt be a problem but nothing lined up right. it was welded wrong and a tad to short. thats my experience with them. choose wisely

I have their 3 inch add a leaf. Works well and I am happy with the springs. Only complaint is shocks wore out rather quickly after some trail use. Recommendation for this would be upgraded shocks. Their customer service is excellent and their tech guys seem to know a lot about actual installations.
