Flimsy fix, caused more damage

Had high hopes for this product to fix a common automotive problem, but was disappointed with its lack of durability. The frame repair seemed flimsy and caused more damage to the strut in the long run.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Poor durability, caused more damage

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Subtle but not black

Arrived subtly but found it difficult to slide on the frame. The bottom part had to be cut along with the other part under the bed bolt. Also, it's not black, it's green, so it needs to be painted black or it will stand out.

Pros
  • Spare parts
Cons
  • Some little things

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality, repair part of the frame, welds are good.

I also installed this on the passenger side to fix some rust damage to the frame on this Ranger that I traded in. I also had to replace some metals on this vehicle, they have been on the vehicle for 2 years now and are in good shape. Look like new. Would buy again.

Pros
  • Chassis
Cons
  • disappears
