Frame savers installed (pics)

Well I ordered the Fattdaddys from "Wilfulone" and they are a great product. I made the black brackets just under the wheels and they make it look a lot better.

Oh and no flames please for the dirty car up front lol It was before I cleaned it

This is something I need to do soon since I want to lower in on stock bolts and I have speedbumps at my apartment

How easy was it to put everything on?

It was pretty easy if you have access to tools and it was much easier with our lift....

Easy without a lift, simple with one.

Get them. Worth every penny...

Nice mod. I installed a set of these on mine back in January. Sure gives you a little extra security.

Yeah you do have to drill through the rails but I think they are very strong regardless if it has a hole in it or not. I dont think it will break unless I hit a curb at 192 mph

Then we might have a problem.

I noticed that you guys have bought the FatDaddy(single wheel) vs. the FatMomma (double wheel). Why is that? Have the double wheeled ones failed?

I need these...
