Hey brandon This is Rick from New Jersey! Igot a break in the weather for a few dayts and completed the spacer install completely by myself! I did need a balljoint puller for the ball joints.Everything went smoothly.The 2.25 front and 1.75 rear spacers seem perfect. I see no problem with the upper control arm.I have already had my truck out in the Pine Barrens and fully flexed and tested the suspension and have no problems at all. I will eventually put in the Moog ball joints. Thanks for a great product and your support!

positive feedback.

I didn't even notice we had this thread...

I called them about cut/turning my 1st gen beams. We talked a bit, and then 3 months later I had the cash, spare beams and a way to get the beams there without shipping.

I got the beams to him and within 1 week he had them done and shipped to me. I came home from work and viola, they were waiting for me on the front porch..

No issues with BTF.. Their welds looked nice and clean and the cut/turned beams are working great.

This is the thread which talks about the cut/turned beams from them..

Seems like the thread is somewhat hidden. You can't find it unless you go through the HOW TO: BTF-Fabrication Spacer Lift Install thread and there is a link. I don't think it displays anywhere else that I can tell.

Its good to know about the positive experiences. I'm just a bit weary after reading about the road bully guy. I sent my payment to btf 2 nights ago and haven't heard back or got any kind of receipt to know if he even got the payment. I've text and emailed. I would have liked some acknowledgement of this.

Given Brandon a jingle on the phone. Its a small operation and from what I gather, the phone rings his cell phone which he can get to much easier than email etc.

I dealt with BTF a few weeks ago. Called them up talked for a bit and order a set of beefy UCA's . Placed the order and left a down payment at their shop, arms were ready two weeks later. Brandon and Travis are great guys and easy to work with. Highly recommend them.
