| Aluminum Hardware Durability
For the guys running aluminum hardware, what failures if any have you had? I'm not including a shock option in the pole. Mounting shocks to aluminum just seems silly to me. Post up and vote please Last edited by mrG; 11-30-2012 at 05:52 PM. |

I've used aluminum at both ends of the shock axle and hoops with no damages or breaks at all. --Dan |

| Re: Aluminum Hardware Durability
just in the midst of swapping over to all aluminum hardware on my new ride. Now it came with some and the only thing i can see is the socket head/buttonhead gets a little sloppy from torquing with a driver other then that they are pretty strong will get you more info as time goes by on my truck.
