Default Done with mcgauphys

Im now on my 2nd set of drop struts in less than a year, the strut bushing crushes from the weight (rcsb) and squeezes out the sides and then just falls apart. Im so tired of this. This is on their adjustable drop struts. Are beltechs any better? Or do they use the same **** bushings mcg does. Why cant they just use a poly bushing? Sorry for the rant, but its getting old. And mcg's customer service is a joke

I've been running Belltech adjustable struts for about 2yrs on my Tahoe with no issues. Driven daily family hauler.

I've got almost 3yrs on my Belltechs. Still feel like the day I put em in. My truck is my wife's kid hauler, goes on road trips etc... No issues at all.

Wow what a difference between the belltech and mcgauphys! So glad i switched, f mcg junk. Low miles on the mcg's, when i pulled them the strut mount fell out and the bushing was crumbs. The new belltechs were rock solid bushing in there. And a much better ride as well!
