Bought the new limb risers from GearShade, and figured I’d share my thoughts.
I haven’t had a chance yet to put them thru any test, but I wanted to share the quality etc and my first impressions.
To begin: the flat metal pieces that fit onto the trail sites are rough cut, have bad burrs, and not pretty. Cut myself on one of them. The cables and pieces seem of good quality, however you must check things before install as pins in mine were in the wrong spot. The bolts that replace the factory ones in the trail sights are…annoyingly…a different size. Which maybe I was supposed to have that size bit In my toolkit but maybe it was missing? I need to see if I’m missing pieces from my Bronco Toolkit.
When installing, one side was perfect. Passenger side however will not line up to accept the quick detach pin. The holes are not lining up so I’ll have to drill it out more than likely to get it where it could even work. Hopefully it’ll still work as it should, worried if I drill it out the detent ball won’t have nothing to hold it in place. Also, the rings on the quick detach pins hit the paint, no biggie should be able to swap them out but another oversight imo.
So all in all for $100+ I feel the quality should’ve been a lot better or at least QC’d. I sent an email to @GearShade and haven’t heard back, but I know they’re busy. I was curious if this is how they come, or if mine was a one off…and wanted to let them know. I know they normally have quality stuff I’ve never had a problem. I took some pics but I can’t upload from my phone right now for some reason so I’ll try again in the morning for those interested. I’ll pull them back off and take some detailed ones.
