    I should reiterate that the "limited" lifetime warranty pertains to any failure or defect. Of course anything will wear out.

    That's how I plan on testing them. Need to make sure they don't suck...

    Can't argue that but I need to start paying down my property and finish improvements on it. Will be retiring at 67 1/2. I have to consider my needs and priorities not to mention the time I need to spend with my grandkids:thumbsup: That takes money..

    I know you had a health situation @csuviper, Brian...., and I'm glad you are doing better, but I recently went thru 2+ years of hell with my prostate cancer "thing". The most aggressive kind. A Gleason 8.5! I'm sorry you have problems with Fat Bob's Garage. Even though I have great medical insurance, early on I would have $200 and sometimes $400 copays early on every week. I took that from my savings.!! I'm beating this cancer, and quite frankly I don't need condescending comments on where I spend my money. I need some ToyTec shackles like I bought 4 years ago for $139. Now $240. NUTS!! At the same time I was taking my grandkids to school everyday and pick them up....with a freaking catheter for awhile. So....excuse me for buying something from Fat Bob's. I don't judge you what you spend your money on.

    Pricing goes up, like anything when supply calls for it.
    I think Brian was just looking out due to some of their past history that had been dug up a bit.

    "Past" history. Under new ownership now for a couple years and seems to be doing quite well as reflected by numerous online reviews and overall comments on Facebook. I talked to 3 different folks at FBG and was impressed with their responses to my questions. I read numerous posts here and even on TW and yes FBG certainly had some prior issues but that now seems to be behind them with the new ownership. I almost went with the Dobinsons but there seemed to be potential supply issues so I passed. I do plenty of research before I buy anything as one should.

    I don't mean to be overly harsh and maybe I was so sorry for that. I'm on a tight budget and I'm just doing what's best for me to get my tunny ready. There are a lot good vendors out there. None of them perfect. Snafu's happen, customer service issues, delayed shipments with no communication, defective products, wrong items shipped, bankruptcy :eek: the worst. Alcans are beyond my budget now so I'm considering an AAL/shackle combo, although the DAKAR'S just might be doable. I've changed my mind on the Flowmaster and remembered about Spintech. I ordered a dual in/single out low profile sportsman muffler for $150. I'll still have Exhaust Pros weld it up because they guarantee their work. :thumbsup:

    None of this stuff is going on for quite some time. Still figuring out my rear setup. Need to get two more FN BFD's, tires, skids. This will take time. I'm in no hurry at all. I gave myself a year to get most of the suspension stuff, ideally by next spring. I've got other things going on so it might take longer.

    612's are perfect unless you plan on adding a heavy aftermarket bumper, especially a winch bumper with winch.
