    Did you go steel upfront for the ifs? Thinking of going steel there then aluminum for the rest from RCI

    I went all aluminum for weight savings. If I had to do over I would take a closer look at steel up front.

    They do sales occasionally that helps you save on shipping. I went with aluminum during the sale

    SOS custom concepts has a sale going on rite now, 20% off. I just order the Front, mid, and t-case skids for less than $500 total. I live in SC so I also saved $150 on shipping, but either way it's a great deal IMO. I've heard nothing but great things about the quality, and the guy that runs the business.. Cheers
