Who makes these ones, zc911?

What's the cost of the SPC ones?

I tried a set identical to these by Chassis Tech and they weren't worth jack ****. The design totally sucks. If you compare the part where the anchor bolts attach, on the stock arm, the arm comes away from this point at about a 30' angle. These do not angle at all. Therefore, when the suspension compresses, that anchor area bottoms out against the sheet metal stucture in the fender well. This in turn reduces your suspension travel by about 3".
