    yes. he also agreed that there was a difference in my angle and where he designed the mounts to be.

    very happy with how he handled things and helped me out.

    so this could be a install and ssee if the angle is good, and if not he fixes the problem?

    i was fine with modifying my setup. i showed him photos and he was not happy with how it turned out and so he sent a new set.

    i cannot say how others will work. i'm not sure your angle on your comment, but it was not his problem to fix, but he worked with me to get the problem fixed.

    his kit has worked fine for many others, but for some reason, my dakars did not cooperate as planned or the mounts were slightly off.

    My only angle is I don't want to be stuck with two pieces of metal that cost me 200 bucks if they aren't right.

    yea i hear ya..

    well when i installed mine and first saw the angles i knew something was off..that's when i asked around and told adam about it.

    he saw the angles and agreed that it was not acceptable

    he said that he's had numerous customers' installs go great and produce acceptable angles. so it was uncommon to have the errors that i have.

    from my experience with this, adam has been helpful in resolving the issue


    and it's not like my truck was not driveable because of this as well. it has been driving fine, and from the pics i posted of it flexing, it does its job. it's just not the ideal angles that are expected with this conversion
