Being a welder, I could not justify spending $300 for something I did fabricate in 1.5 hr.
Fronts are worth the $350 as require custom fitment, but for the rear a piece of square tubing from old ball mount and few ft of 1.5" square tubing, with 2" square washers from HD did the trick.
As a half-arse welder and shade-tree fabricator myself, I love saving money by building stuff like this. But know that I am fast approaching retirement, its not as fun as it used to be....especially the getting up off the garage floor part, I will spend the $267 (w/free shipping) for a well made and well thought out product from Torklift and save my brain power and fab time for developing a hitch extension with built-in camper steps and hand rail. :) :)
