No way. I figure to hide them.
I will get all the pics i can and i doubt there is much to write-up. Jack it up, pull bolts from stock arms, put in new arms, replace bolts, lower truck, and enjoy....
they've always worked for me.

I meant a write up in the sense of easy to do the job, did all hardware arrive in good condition? Immediate reaction to quality. Side by side pics of different length over stock.
And finally, if you were to buy these again, would there be anything you would want changed or added / subracted.
Stuff like that.
please and thank you.

These won't add any lift.
You may be able to get longer coils or bigger spacers if you get these. I'm not sure what you meant by your post...

Longer coils were implied... sorry if that wasn't clear.
Do we have a hard price on these yet?

Here is a post Kyle made over on the OS.
hardtrailz400 wrote:I have the prototypes at house and hoping for a sub-100+ heat index day to install them. I got them bare metal since I was in a hurry and he was nice enough to bust ass and get them to me. So I am giving them a few coats of white paint since they will get scratched up in use and it is easy to touch up paint. I believe they will be sold powdercoated, but I figured with my use, the coating would be torn off and need painted anyway.
Here are a few pics of the arms and of the base coat.

$250, looks great!
I'll have to talk to the other half and fit it into the upcoming budget somewhere between the rear bumper and a refrigerator.
I'm eager to see what Htz's thoughts are once they are installed.

Not trying to sensor anyone here, but since this is a VENDOR thread, lets keep things on the topic of the product.
