I heard alot about AIM. Lots of people say their stuff blows!! AIM makes their own stuff I believe. Then again, Fast4.8 has AIM parts and to my knowledge doesnt have any problems. 2 each their own, Im goin with DJM.

AIM is a direct copy of the other brands. There is nothing wrong with this but their quality is very low. I myself did not know this when i bought their bag kit with 4-link rear. The weld quality is terrible, and the parts did not fit well at all. Also about half the bolts i had to replace because they were not long enough. I have not had it break, but i am very easy on my truck on corners and standing take-offs. Im not saying that you will have a problem with shAIM parts, just that a lot of people do.

Nice truck - looks great...
How does it ride ?
Do you hit the stops ?
Any vibration ? - did you do the carrier brg relo ? Was it a bitch ?

FYI - AIM makes there own parts
Substandard welds and parts
Example - I had a pair of rear hangers
Did not last a year
Then they would not warranty them
They were rude - customer service was def not high on the list
They also would not let me even return them.
I ended up contacting the BBB and the Atty Gen for AZ
should of heard the stories......
One of those get in line deals.....
So I just spread the word...
Get what you pay for...

Thanks, It rides pretty good, stiffer than stock. Maybe a little rough for my old as$. I've never hit the bumpstops at all, seems to be plenty of clearance. No vibration problems either, we used the relocator and a tranny shim. I had a guy do it for me because I didn't really have the space of the tools to do it, they said it was a pretty easy job.
