This may be old... I was just browsing the recalls on my insurance web site and ran across this. I did a search on the forums to see if it was old and couldnt find anything so posted it.

I like how they blame the driver for wrecking if the suspension fails... :roll:

Bolts are so cheap I just don't get why they'd use grade 2. Use crappy bolts and save less than a dollar. Brilliant!

I wouldn't use grade 2 for anything personally. In fact I don't bother with grade 5. Better safe than sorry.

This company produces products of high crap.

Nothing but problems. Friends of mine had bought stuff from them for other trucks and they all sucked and had nothing but problems. some could not even instsall it on the chevy at all.
