Eh, they're a decent product except for their TRE. The supplied TRE is a piece of ****, one was junk after 1500 miles and another after a single wheeling trip. Replace it with a Moog or other quality brand and it should be good.

If we started fabricating track bars at 40$ cost to us that's adjusting with heims or johnnys we could sell em for 90 and beat the competition

if you had a lathe and could cut the stock and hollow the end to put a threaded insert in and put what ever kinda joint you wanted would be a good way then fabricate the new mount for a heim joint and youd be good to go

I'm a machinist, if you would like parts made. You would just have to pay to ship them from Ohio. I can bend,thread,weld anything so let me know. If you don't get the 50 dollar score from John Deere
