Joshua

Triplus is what we use and sell. Best fit, heaviest gauge, and nicest appearance. WES

Wes,... how do they compare to GM?
Some people say the Tri-Plus fit better than GM. Any truth to that?

I've heard nothing but good things about triplus stuff, and they're even a board member here, which is nice as well.

packers, nice to see you on the board, I live in Gridley.

I bought a set of rockers from WES and my body man said the fit and quality was as good if not better than NOS rockers.

I have a set of both and I would say the TRI-PLUS is as good or better than GM rockers. Any one want to buy a set NOS GM rockers for, say...$275.00 ??!!

TRI-PLUS ROCKS!!

Re: Which rockers fit best???

Here is a pic of a TriPlus rocker just sitting on a truck we are doing for a customer. I had on overall pic but can't find it right now. This truck still has the original inner panel and only had the outer removed. We sell and install only TriPlus.
