    i've wheeled with adam and like i said he's a super nice guy...however i know matt had some trouble with the bumper and sliders...but the products LOOK good...

    its possible that matts truck was tweaked...but his stock bumper fit fine etc when put back on...and of course tubing is an inexact science...its possible the bumper was just a tad off

    the sliders bent because of the material used tho...not the strongest steel you can get...
