dont knock it till its tested...the stock k frame needs to be reinforced in the steering box area cause of flexing when you just turn it at rest...and sector shaft support added...and welded up fully cause of factory spot welds...i think its a great start so far and stronger all around...i would like to see no slots but they are working out the bugs...maybe they will...great price though at 587.00 per summit...by the time you spend shipping back and forth a stock k to firm feel and powdercoating it will be much more.
