Joined the Hensley club for $500

[boosTT]

Spotted a Hensley Arrow complete setup on craigslist for $500 last night. I immediately emailed the seller and picked it up about two hours later for $500. Everything is in great condition and the seller was the original owner. He used it with a suburban 2500 and I want to use it with my 2011 Ram 1500. It looks like I’ll need to exchange the truck side bar as the one it came with has about an 6 or 8 inch drop.

How much do these new bars cost and does anyone know what size I would need for a Ram 1500?

Stinger exchanges used to be free for the original owner. I get the Hensley newsletter and it recently had the program listed but nothing was mentioned anymore about it having to be the original registered owner. Maybe it allows exchanges for everyone now or maybe the previous owner can help you out. Call Hensley and see 1-800-410-6580.
Normally you pay a deposit and the shipping and they send you a new one. The deposit is refunded when you return yours.

I got mine used too and had to swap the stinger. A local dealer here sells them for $140 plus my trade. I now need to swap again but may try the Hensley route first, unless anybody here wants to swap a straight stinger for a 2" drop?

$200.00+ for the bar. You might check here http://www.airforums.com/ lots of guys there are using them.

GREAT LUCKY CATCH!!! I say whatever you pay for a stinger, it is well worth it.
