Torklift Tiedowns Original Steel or Talon Aluminum

I wanted to buy the Talons but they were not yet available for my new model of truck but the steel ones were so I went with steel. One of my wife's co-workers went with the talons and they had to have one replaced as a weld cracked during installation. Torklift service was excellent but they told them to reduce the torque on the bolts to avoid cracking the welds. I live in an area where rust is not an issue so I'm happy I ended up with good old steel!
