Like I said Guys not taking sides just wanting to figure out if I need to trash this stuff.I've looked it all over and seems like good stuff,but who knows?The truck I'm doing is not a racer but will have a stout 406 and 700R-4 so I'll smoke the tires on an occassion!
Thanks for the input so far and keep all opinion's coming please!

That's only one of the stories you hear....we all have no other reason to bash shAIM except for the fact we do not want others to get screwed or end up hurt....I bought hangers from them back in the early 90's, for some reason I didn't like the way they looked so I gave them to a good friend that wanted them...all he had was a 2-4 drop on a daily driver, and within a few months on the way home one night the hanger broke apart...this guy still has the truck using belltech parts with over 250K on it, so he takes very good care of it and does not abuse it...so no other reason for the hanger to brake unless it was poorly made. I owned a body shop for 15 years and my customers would bring me shAIM bumpers, rollpans and grills to install and not one of them ever went on without major repairs, the bumpers always had to be heated up and reshaped, or the brackets reemed out just for them to go on, all their grills would come with stress cracks and they would never take the parts back, so of course I had to do repairs to get them to fit, sometimes they were so out of shape I had to to use sheet metal screws behind the park lights to get them to sit close to the fender....I only did this cause I felt bad for them after they got the hose job from shAIM not taking back the parts unless they charged them 20% restocking fee which was total bs.
