I recommended the Ride Tech bolt-on 4-bar suspension based on the easy bolt-on configuration & engineered quality of the parts. He decided to pay a local shop close to 5k to do the work. All the parts they used were fabbed from various suppliers off the net or steelyard angle & plate. It was definitely a 'one-off' custom set-up. The name of the shop was called 'the Hack Shack' & the work looked exactly like the shops name implied. Less than 1-month of driving around he sheared brackets off twice. Each time it required a flat-bed tow back to the shop for repair @ his expense (the shop did the repairs @ no charge). Several months later it happened again
Thats why the hack shack is no longer in business LOL!

Technically they're just like AIM/Chassis Tech/AirBagIt.com..... They're still around & still in the same building, they just re-named themselves (Branded Customs).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
