Chassis Tech/AIM/Ricky Racer are all the same company. They have THE worst reputation in the aftermarket industry. You couldn't have picked a company with worse products or customer service. Stay as far away as you can.

I've heard the same thing. You might search this Section, doing a search way back. There are others who've said CT sucks, in so many words. A name that keeps popping up is Western Chassis. Good rep. Better fabrication. Beefier. Better design. That's what I'm saving my pennies for.

Cool

Chassis Tech/AIM are just getting into lifts, so that is why you haven't heard anything bad about them regarding lifts yet. They have been doing lowering components for years and do have a terrible reputation. Go with Western Chassis or Bell Tech for lowering. Not sure about lifts though. I would trust Western Chassis if they have lift kits, but I don't know if they have them or not.

Price and customer service!

Your link says he never used AIM . His mention of them is hearsay!If they are not worth the money someone please give me honest firsthand info .

Hey SUNDOG7

These links are talking about lowering do have any on their lift products? I bought their upper control arms to solve my problem with the Fabtech leveling kit I have. I am thinking about buying their 3" spindles at 249 , thats a pretty good price but if there are problems with this company I haven't heard please send the links.
