RCD makes a cheap (but strong) 2" front shackle and mount kit (like $313).

I don't think that they have a website..........and least I've never been able to find one when I search for it.

I think they are out of Temecula (sp???), CA.

4" hanger is either $425.00 or $450.00 can't remember which.




Hope this helps.

Skavdog, where did you find the whiplash kit? I'd like to check it out. Are you pretty happy with it?

Not sure about their reputation but it's worth a look.

so far ive heard bad things about the quality of their hangers.. i think someone said there are several cases where welds have broke and such.

DC- if i am not mistaken the edge and "al's performance" hangers are about the same cost? I think edge was like 450 for the 4.5"?

Right the Edge 4.5" is $450.00 and I'm pretty sure that the Al's Performance 4" is $425.00.


I've seen some broken Truckin/AIM/Chasis Tech products......and others that had to be modified to fit.

ok... cool. be careful, word is unless you buy all the goodies (if you go with the cool guy kit), you'll get no backing if something goes wrong.

i totally agree with you..... they are ALL way over priced. but.... some are better priced than others. i would like to know more about this whiplash hanger kit that Skavdog put on his.... price is right, but i wonder of the quality. i know whiplash had some big legal issues in the past with problematic suspensions....

to lift our straight axeled superduties is by no means any extrodinary engineering feat of any kind so i'd image any half assed fab shop could make a part as good as the next guy.

too bad yeti won't get into the shop and make a special FTE branded hanger for us.... he could make a few bucks and we could save a few bucks... oh well.
