Quite frankly, the only thing "flame-worthy" in your post (IMO) is how quickly you've decided to pass judgement and form your patronage decisions based on disappointingly limited information. You've already formed and trumpeted your "unimpressed" opinion based on a PARTIAL part number you found through an internet search?
Yikes. 
Personally, I could care less if you buy from PRG Products or some douche down the street. I don't own stock in Greg's company. I just enjoy passing on information/ modifications that have worked for me and vendors that actually use and install their products. Getting support on an install at 8pm on a Saturday - that's HUGE. A large part of my life is devoted to vehicles, so I may come across stuff that's worthy of sharing. These springs are by far the most cost-effective mod I've bought for this truck, and I've invested more than 50% of the truck's MSRP in aftermarket additions. You can choose to spend your money as you see fit with vendors you deem "trustworthy". I don't know anything about the Alcan springs, but I'm sure you'll be happy with them and the service they provide you. Best of luck!  |
I had to edit the post because I didn't say what I wanted to say.
There were also other things, it wasn't uninformed, it was not a worthless internet search, it was showing what I found in the off-road industry from other product makers, the website just shows what I am trying to express. I do not fly off half cocked, I do research and I always make an informed decision which I have done.
Whether or not you "own stock", I could care less, and I genuinly appreciate the passing of information, that is why we are hear, but I don't like to be told one thing to find out different elsewhere.
I also don't like to see one company bash another company in any way, shape or form. This is completely unimpressive.
And this isn't the most cost effective mod. You can get the same thing from a better product maker for a lesser price.
Alcan spring company via Alcan directly. They have been making the same 3 leaf pack in a 60mm material not a 2.25" SAE material with better alignment clips to avoid the squeek that you stated you did not like and left the bolts out and Alcan sells them for $150.00 per pair with U-bolts.
