Review:
I love it. The welds are good and gave me added protection. Install was a easy. Overall customer service was good. I like the fact that it was made in the USA because I like supporting my economy. & pricing! It's is the most affordable one in the market. Other competitors charge over 300 nearly 400 shipped for there bars. So, the valve is the here. I am very very interested on the rear set up. I will place my other for that one as well soon!

@Mr. you were able to use the oem bolts to bolt the front bar back up to the chassis? I just tried to mount the bar up tonight for mock up and couldn't get the top threads to catch. I think the bar base is at least 1/4" thick, not sure if that has changed over time.
