Yeah but,it has aluminum shock towers,steel turn buckles, I was hoping for at least the carbon towers. I notice Sean Cochran running those plastic shocks at my indoor track. He broke a cap once but still runs them. I think they will better protected in the truck. Price is good though. I have always liked the layout of the radio tray...Nice job guys
