I'm pretty sure that it's common knowledge across America that these guys have awesome stuff and are great people to deal with. I don't mind paying a few extra dollars for their stuff.

Ruffstuff is the ****. They've got a stack of those frame plates sitting on a crate ready to ship. Just welded a set onto my own jeep. Just keep in mind they are intended for jeeps that are getting the frame side control arm mounts cut off in favor of long arms. But you can fit them with a quick slashing of a cutoff wheel

I've ordered several things from Ruff stuff for my one ton swap. Fast shipping and rock solid customer service.

I wish other vendors would follow Dan's business strategy!

Dan is a great guy to deal with. Never had any issues and he gives forum and fb discounts.

Thanks guys. Already have the long arms. Got to test the waters with these vendors. Don't want to end up like the people that spent there money at FST.

I haven't been following the FST catastrophe.. but last I heard he's a one man show. ruffstuff is a team of guys in a large 2 section warehouse with a yard and always 1 or sometimes 2 people working the phones. they have shelves and shelves of inventory ready to ship. don't get companies like ruffstuff mixed up with... less organized ones
