Now, if you are on anything other than an unlimited budget, you only get the "look" and not the performance. As an average Joe - I have about 12k into my truck and all I have is the look... it hurts that guys like me cant get in on the performance without getting a HELOC on my house and likely a divorce to get there. LOL From a business standpoint, whats the profit on kits like this after all the R&D? I look at long travel suspension kits for off-road kits which take a much harder beating and they are less or close to the same price. I just don't understand it. Supply and demand I suppose.  Its a cool set up though... No doubt you guys have the best products on the market. |
I couldn't agree more, but look out there at any form of motorsports. There are guys dropping that kind of money for suspension on their UTVs so they can play in mud puddles. The pro touring builds are everywhere. most of these builds are $100k builds. I certainly can't financially play in the same arena, but that isn't going to keep me from playing.
