| | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | Well its ok but not really worth the money.(plus i dont like that it has strut rods) Its playing on guys that dont have a weldor. Lets face it ,if your building anything your not gonna bolt it together. Its gonna have to be welded sooner or later. RB also is just a clearing house,they make NOTHING! I beleive its a chassis engineering deal.(hope swap cop aint around) It also looks great in the pix's they have but on a finished truck it look kinda bulky . In the end i welded one for a customer cause he did not like the way it looked .RB will give you the BS about how bolting is safer cause it does not stress the frame. Thats BS and just a marketing tool. What every front end you get weather it be stang II or one of the others .Dont go with the original lower a-frames with strut rods and make sure you use at least the 11 inch brake upgrade(if you e-amail i will tell you the best names ,as i dont want the swap cops on my a## cause i do sell some of them but only what i install) My bet is go with a good kit ,tack weld it in yourself(Do the whole deal if your a good welder) .Than roll it to a weldor and have him do the big welding part.(or get one to visit on a saturday,h#ll i just did one for a antique furniture guy and got the wife some stuff refinished for a labor swap) This may go against rules but screw it. If a customer rolled a tacked one in it would cost him about 100-200 bucks to get it fully welded with maybe a couple of extra things.I hope this helps a little. There are a couple of deals out there right now.So.......get rod and custom and streetroddder mag.The good guys advertize in both.Just stay away from the overweight guy  his stuff is junk.  | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 398 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 398 | Cool...Thanks for the response, Phat. I guess this suspension stuff is just another case of "you get what you pay for." I'm not confident enough in my own limited welding skills to tackle a whole project like this start to finish...but I know with a little care I could do the setup and tack everything in-then take it to a pro to have him finish it. Again, thanks for the eye-opener. Wannabe
