Something to keep in mind...you mentioned the SS Fast guns. Those are shiny, polished ones. Thieves like shiny things that look valuable, and those particular ones do look valuable.

The tie-downs can vary greatly in price new or used. I wouldn't pay $850. I found a used set, front and rear, on Craigslist for $175 and installed them myself. And yes, they are fairly easy to install. The front driver side on Fords can be tricky, but doable. If you can get the part numbers figured out, you'll be happy with a Torklift setup. I know I am. I thinks it's the best, but there are others that know a lot more than me on the subject. Good luck.
