The one on the left ( non gold coated ) looks like it has a beefier main box.

Are you using these for a ladder bar conversion or what?

I don't see a whole lot of difference but check with Mopar65 and maybe buy his just as cheap. I love mine because it helps to keep the car low,I don't like the air shock/shackle look Also in the last 7 passes on my car with cal-tracs and drag radials at 2 different tracks my 60 foots have only varied from 1.419 to 1.427 so I know they work and are consistent.

We have been running the afcos for 3 years mud racing, those pups get a major sand blasting every pass and have held up good, we press washem and some wD40 every weekend , good product
