I replaced mine with sasquatch links, the factory ones did feel like they may have had some dirt in the joint though. I did have the thought of it making some more rigid though.
How does the surface feel on this feel, is it soft like the OEM or hard like a bedliner? I will be a early adopter for sure, one of the things I regret about my Outer Banks is the carpet!
I had my sway bar links making sound on mine, and the skid plate was amplify it. I realized it when I put my Sasquatch links on, and the sound was gone.
Lesson of the day, check engine light means get diagnosis to see what is wrong with the system. That engine would have been saved had they at least pulled some plugs to check the misfire codes. This coming from some who sells parts and would love that commission from selling a new engine...
June 21 build, elder of dirt mountain and open. Mine is not cracking, but does have the rust on the weld. Only has Bilstein 5100 and wildtrack tires and wheels. Not hardcore off road, only a few times down N. Padre and a couple of hidden falls trips
