Default Suspension:everyone in here

Hey guys I know of a place that wants to make some caltrac bars for our trucks, he needs like 10 people to want them in order to make them. He said for the price is somewhere around 300.00. They will be top of the line and if you dont know what caltrac bars are just look them up like here http://www.calvertracing.com/info/info.htm What does everyone think?

I have to agree with the rest, for only a little more you know what your buying. I'm not saying your guy doesn't know how to make a quality set of caltracs but until I see some units he's made before I don't trust words with $300.

Has he made these before and pictures would be nice if he has.

It's not only a question of quality but experience. When I first installed my caltracs I had a hard time getting them to work right I called Calvert racing and spoke with John Calvert for a half hour on the phone and he explained the correct way to adjust them. They're not Plug-n-play...

The company is BMR fabrication, they have plenty of experience in suspension, I guess it doesnt look like it is going to happen so scratch that........

Well, what about something better than the Caltracs? I would like to see something than can beat the caltracs or at least give them some competiton. Like a nice bolt on 4-Link or something...
Just my opinion
