    Anybody know why this deal seams to good to be true? Looks like it's $100 cheaper than similar kits.

    I bought this kit and have been happy so far. I’m not sure why it’s that much cheaper but it’s still a great deal. Maybe the brackets are not as thick or coated differently/different material.

    I've got wheeler's front bumps and they're fantastic. Whatever rubber compound they're using certainly wouldn't be the cheap part. The only bad thing I've heard about the rears is that gunk gets stuck inside them, but that goes for all of these designs.

    Had the same reservations, but bought this kit and have run it for a year now. Not sure how the more expensive kits would have faired a PA winter but the powder coating/paint is chipping on my plates and has started to rust. Cosmetic as far as I can tell. Otherwise, very happy with the kit.

    I had to wire wheel and repaint my rear timbrens. Same thing, flaking paint and a bit of rust.

    Wow things got expensive. I bought my Timbren flip kit (from Wheelers) for ~$140 delivered. That was 2-3 years ago but a 2x price increase?

    So you’re saying to buy things right away in case prices go up? Lol, I like it.... I do need those front bump stops... and by need I mean want, since my truck only goes to Home Depot, Chick Fila and pick my son up from school now...

    How else are you supposed to bomb through speed bumps and parking lots?

    By all means buy what you “need”. To help fund this, suggest going to MickeyDee’s for McNuggets and stop going to Chick Fila. Although the CF shake is top tier.
