    Here's my dignified response

    1. You can ask experts, and likely all have differing opinions.
    Here's my motto: "One test is worth 1,000 expert opinions" (Plaque from my strength of materials class)

    2. Maxx's message to me was unsolicited, out of the blue, while he was on a road trip with roof top tent and a 250lb dirtbike hanging off the back. He installed them and shortly after left on a trip. I'd guess he put hundreds of miles on them already. Are you saying someone cannot immediately notice a difference?
    I posted it because it exactly mirrors my personal experience, I left my driveway and couldn't believe the difference. I am extremely sensitive to vehicle ride quality, so I was shocked by the difference.

    3. Welcome to the world, you're surprised? Illegal advertising? I didn't make this mess, just trying to grind out a living doing design work that I love. So it is frustrating when someone responds like you to tear down your work seemingly without a care.
    Maxx and I have been discussing suspension for over a year. I reached out to him and offered full sponsorship, because he has followers on Instagram, and because I like his character, and he is a first responder Fireman, and he is a husband and father, and because he doesn't have it easy trying to build a cool truck with all that pressure on his shoulders.

    4. I'm a designer, and not good at being a salesman. Just trying to honestly present my products. Maybe you could start being open minded, stop doubting, and be a leader instead of a fearful follower letting others try it and take some risk so you don't have to. Maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised and lose the self admitted cynical attitude. No offense intended, I'm trying to help you make your life happier. DM me for special illegal discount lol
    As for compromises, I feel the only is the cost to buy.

    Your last point is valid but has been addressed with my cross tube option and design of the hanger bottom. The cross tube ties the the hangers together with 1.75" .120 wall DOM tube. This effectively connects the frame rails like a torsion bar, which helps them both deal with the stress of dragging a single hanger on a rock. I've also added a ramped leading edge on bottom of hangers to help glide over rough rocks, unlike the stock hangers and competition that has an edge to catch on rough rock.
