However if your telling me that the engineer was 100% thrilled with what was put out and they couldn’t have designed something more robust, that would handle more load or endurance than what they ended up going with due to cost then I am going to have to disagree.  I do agree sometimes and probably most times using an inferior aftermarket product causes more trouble than good.  But there are probably a good number of fabricators on this site that do their homework and either purchase from a very reputable aftermarket supplier or fab their own stuff to increase the ability of our trucks and aren’t doing this in anyway to cause more problems and are actually improving on the engineering the original Ford engineers wish they could have done if not for the bean counters tight strings.  Now does that mean it’s always perfect right off the bat, no sir you sometimes have to mod as you go, to fit the need.  Just my 2 cents!</p></blockquote><p></p>
