Firgelli Actuators?

I'm getting ready to start working on the tilt front-end on my truck and I saw where Julie used a Firgelli 400lb. actuator on her truck. I was just wondering if it's holding up okay Julie.

Anyone else have good success with these actuators?

Thanks

Julie moved. I'm sure she was convinced they were the best.

Yeah, Julie turned out to not be Julie OR a she and was escorted to the door. With that said, no, he didn't have such good luck with his Figelli actuator. He posted a thread about running the tilt front up with it at a car show and it broke and the whole thing slammed down on the ground. and bashed in the nose of the hood.

Thanks for the heads-up. Anyone recommend another brand?

Check with Keith. I think he used some kind of electric screw type actuator for his tilt front end.

keith56_cruz_cab is the users name.
