I haven't seen anyone make knockoffs of the Grimmspeed. Their design is a bit unique, vs. the others I've seen.

I haven't looked into any of them. Figured it would be a bracket, a strut with a ball joint on one end and another bracket. Didn't think grimmspeed would be in the hydraulic business so they would have to outsource, just like everyone else

Just saw this. Looks like you got a good answer. They have held up for over 3 years.

Well, both Grimmspeed and Gimmick would be G-awesome!
