As always every Artec builder part Ive ordered is the highest quality beefy design and cut to fit perfectly. There shock hangers fit the axle tubes great and they made welding a nice joint a snap. The price is much better than the competition and shipping was fast. I couldnt be happier with the part. Thanks again Artec for another great item
