I have the tubs and shock crossmember. I've only got one tub installed and it has been almost a year probably. Got aggravated and decided to finish my basement instead over the summer :confused: . Anyway, the tubs are nice I think. The CD they sell is worthless. Should be free with purchase if you ask me. It is maybe 20min long or so. I printed the templates but ended up just trial and error to get them to fit. Don't get the impression that the templates are gonna make it easy. Pretty much ends up being trim, fit, trim, fit, etc as you probably would expect for a project like this. I sort of expected that going in. Very dirty work too. As long as you expect and prepare for that going in then you'll be fine. I'm still undecided as to whether or not I'll use the shock crossmember or build something else tubular instead.
I also think their offset shackles makes the overall project less time consuming. I'm planning to install sliders and split monos at the same time so that adds to the fab work necessary.
Thanks,
John
