Tuff Country sucks?
 
Hiya, I have seen that many of you guys are bashing Tuff Countrys kit, but I think it's pretty good,at least with Skyjacker D45 springs, it flexes pretty good for a cheap kit=)

Ok. TuffCountry sucks, at least a little.

I was coming home and at one crossroad which I was coming a little faster than normally, I felt/heard big bang and my steering went all crazy.

Can you believe this, that sway bar drop brackets two bolts snapped! [verymad]

Allmost wrecked my truck. Well... Maybe I'll survive if I change stronger bolts there...

But, be aware...[director]

Sorry, I was talking about the track bar.

Nope it wasn't right after that.

I have driven over two tanks and several tight turns after playing around with the tractors front end loader.

Blah... now the track bar drop blocks supporting bracket broked... Well just welded it together and little strengthened it... What a pain a one block could be. But I hope it's ok for now.

And I do not want to take the stabilizers off...:(

My 5" Superlift drop bracket came with some cheese bolts, I put Grade 8's in and melted that sucker to the stock bracket! [redface]

I never trusted those things, I went right for the solid steel 03 conversion with the 3" lift and standard 03 trac bar. When I went above 2" though I had to get the adjustable bar. I've hit quite a few hard bumps and rolls with no ill effects yet. Also like 97' CTD said most of those come with cheap grade bolts 2/5 for the stress thats on them deffintly go grade 8.

Just wait til your coil springs snap. At least they do in the Jeep kits. :rolleyes: I've heard way too many bad things about their lifts to ever consider getting one. [duhhh]
