FLIGHT FABRICATIONS REVIEW/INSTALL

jtpappy · May 12, 2014

Thank you very much moderator!! I don't need people junking up a thread that based on a review and my set up. Its a dd and a street vehicle hint the street tires. Its more than plenty of beef for my goals and Wesley Beech has assured me of that.

I will be going with Miles bars as well. Was hoping to pick them up at TS but he is not sure if his truck will be done in time. He show off that 4-link at all to you?

here is a picture of the 4 link installed on my 06 incase you were still interested in seeing them, do not mean to derail, nor do I care about the company war, I bought them because I had a crazy death wobble at 46-48mph if I hit a bump, even more on a turn. I installed these, easy as pie, on the way home, hit the hardest bump I know at 48mph on a turn, and it took it like a caddy, so for me, the purchase was justified.

I don't know where to start other than WOW! Miles Flight (Owner) has out done himself! After a good solid month of researching tractions bar, and ladder bars I decided to drop some change on his single tube kit, and I am glad I did. I most likely wouldn't go with a different company if funds allowed me to. Behind every good review there’s a story. It started on Thursday after work and a 12-hour drive to Michigan from Maryland. I knew I was going be cursing right by his place on the way up and back. So I thought it was a good time to save on some shipping and get to see where the magic happens. I called on the road and he luckily picked up and was more than willing to work with me and build me a kit on last notice. I hopped out of the truck on the interstate measured the U-bolts, and sent the money. 3 days to build my kit, and get powder coated. BEST customer service I have ever experienced from a company let alone a one-man operation. Going out of his way and taking time from hanging with the wife to build me the best set of bars on the market IMO. So the waiting game started and on Friday he sent me this epic picture.

The only thing I was worried about was the weld quality but he assured me there were no butt joints in his operation. Every intersecting piece of steel is notched together on a laser cuter then welded. After I heard this I new I had nothing but the best coming to me. Fast forwarding to Sunday I planed to be at his house around 1 p.m. but ended up getting there at 11 a.m. heavy foot I guess.

I was able to pick the brackets, U-bolts, bushings, and hardware. The bars where still at powder coating 30 minutes away! While I was there I was able to snap a few pictures of some out going kits.

I had to pick up the bars at the powder coater personally just because I was little early.

On the way back home after picking up everything, Miles and Rh at Capital Powder Coating told me I had to stop at Summit Racing and I am glad they talked me into it!

After a 14 hour ride that normally takes 9 hours I got home around 8 and I unpackaged everything and mocked it all together in the living room hahah.

Next day I mounted everything up, drilled the holes and put it all together. I love the design of a U-bolt flip.

Just waiting on the name plates from the laser cutter and we’ll be in business.

Had to edit the post so I could read it comfortably. Normally on my phone and it doesn't matter but on the computer it's a bit wide. Thanks for sharing. Summit has a retail store?

My brother has a set of his traction bars and really likes them as well. They can definitely take some abuse as we found out last month when we took our trucks up to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. He never had any issues with binding or flex, and held up real well even when we got air born LOL. Miles does real nice work and as said, has awesome customer service. And to the OP, you were literally like 2 mins from my house. My brother drives past Mile's house everyday going to and from work lol.
