    Yea I replaced mine a month ago and it got better but still has play. The tie rod to rack is tight, I think the wheel bearings were a factor (130,000 miles, original bearings).

    I see. What caught my eye was the sound deadening aspect of the product.. But thanks for the insite. I'm gonna pick up a case just because it's practically free and give it a shot.

    Donahoe went to jail as deserved and his employees/lead engineer kept the company going into the power house that it is today. They are a great company that had a horrible founder. The actions of one does not stand for the conduct of all.

    Were you aware of all of this?

    I do but they're newer stock bushings. I bought a rack of NWItaco that he yanked from another truck that had low miles. So it wasn't brand new but my old one was toast.

    Someone needs to do a Howe rack... So the rest of us can copy.

    Found it. I asked him, he's willing to do normal A pillars. I would add in a dash bar, door bars, and some diaganol bracing.

    For me, this kit is my only viable option at a cage. I lack the skill to build a cage from the ground up and the cost to ship the truck to the west coast and have a well known fab shop do it would be $$,$$$.

    Yes aware of it all...I've been tied to the desert Since 83' when my pops worked for stadium motorsports. I'm just not for backing a company that paid out Donahoe. But that's just my opinion and people can agree or disagree.
