Alpha 1 quality

[bakkbakk]

Prices are pretty much in line with everyone else on the market. Top notch quality. Alpha1/Outlaw parts well tested as ntm said. I have 3500 offroad miles on their upper control arms, and bump stop kit.

I would argue they are one of the big names...in fact their shop is probably 3 to 4 times bigger than many of the other shops out there. You just don't see them mentioned much these days since they aren't very active on the forum...they were much more active 2-3 years ago.

Here's an article on their shop: Racing Porsches And Raging Trucks:Keeping It Cool With CSF | Speedhunters

It seems everyone was a lot more active a couple years ago. Seems a lot of them have gone to other things.

Most of the threads I find myself reading are from 2012 and everyone was involved. Guess I missed the boat Now ALMOST everyone is doing these big ass projects that only a small percentage of raptor owners would even think of

Thanks for the replies everyone. I didn't know they were outlaws parts.

I think it's more so that all the 2010, 11, 12 on trucks have been modded and they are happy with their trucks. I think the more extreme upgrades you are speaking of are from those few who had the upgrades and wanted more, and thats still uncharted territory. So you see posts about that more so now.

But there is no lack of threads regarding weathertech, painted matching flares, Yankee stadium lighting set ups for day drivers, and how best to wash your Raptor...i call those queen threads...lol. The number of queen threads seem to out weight the real use of the Raptor threads now days on this forum.

Outlaw makes the best stuff. I'm an intern there and work with the fabricator personally. Let me tell ya, everything is done right. They don't cut corners, and they don't settle for "alright". Compared to other brands that come in for install (i won't say any names) alpha 1 is the best and looks the best too.

Thats exactly what i would say if i was an intern

I just see a lot of new people joining this site still and only see
A select few vendors. Im on the right path now so i cant complain but theres money to be made

Frankly I would argue the UCA 's are priced above the competition. Are they worth the extra expense. That I will leave to you experts but at almost double the price of most of the other top names they would have to be pretty damn good for that difference. All of their stuff looks very well made in any case. Just justifying the difference in price is the tricky part.

I agree the Alpha 1 Upper control arms are what come to mind when I compare pricing and they are much more expensive.
When they first hit the market they were about the same price as the Icon UCA then the price shot way up, not sure why, but I ended up buying the Icons on sale for less than half the price of Alpha 1.

I like my alpha 1 chase rack….just wish one side was larger so I could stow a yeti cooler instead of a tire….
The guys at Outlaw are great to work with….

Just wonder what the expense is for. They look great but what makes them better than say SVC two piece which are a really well made UCA. Not saying one is better than the other but for the cost of the Alpha 1 UCA's I can buy another well know UCA (hint starts with an R) and get UCA and tie rods for the price of the Alpha 1 UCA's alone!!!. Just saying......
