    I agree with Aaron. Funny how everyone bashes Hass's work and his LT kits. Yet he never bashes anyone else's crap and is always willing to help out. Y'all ever thought that poor maintenance caused the lower to rip like that. All it takes is a poorly maintained bushing not being replaced and metal being bashed causing it to tear. But that's just my .02 cents. We should all just be enjoying the fact that we have awesome equipment on our vehicles no matter who made it.

    Not what he meant, Engage responded in that thread quite a few times, before and after the questions were asked about it (asked a few times).:cool:

    Ok once again I was in the thread with engage. I asked them directly. Hass responded but will not give material type. Aaron also just posted that he was in that same thread too, asking engage to explain. There are still no explanations from engage after being directly asked. Make sense yet?

    Don't mean to bash engage at all, in fact I root him on for making a kit for our trucks. However, the evidence of his LT kit is contrary to what is advertised, and as a potential buyer/customer I need to look at the positive and negative, especially when spending so much $.

    We've all seen the video...
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50DsFhZy5_c&feature=player_embedded
    Skip to 1:40 and watch the white engage truck w/ race spindle. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's a significant amount of bump-steer. It was my understanding that the spindle was supposed to correct that, as advertised on their website. You can compare it to the silver TC truck with bypasses, and clearly the silver truck is more controlled on its landing, but that's obviously because of his shocks. The engage trucks I believe are only running the single King, but it's the quality of how the kit cycles that I'm looking at as compared to the TC kit.

    BTW Aaron, your truck is very nice and I'm sure very capable and holds up great, but I can't help but add everything together and diagnose Engage is an inferior kit for our trucks, but that's my opinion and in no way am I bashing Engage! :)

    Agreed, but we all need to be informed. Doesn't matter, engage, mid travel, no travel, it's all about enjoying our trucks offroad together.
