Re: Torklift fronts and Happijac rear?

Saving $250 on HappiJac bumper buttons was very tempting, I mean, I had them on my 96 F250 and was happy with them right? I looked this all over. I grabbed my 96 rear bumper and pulled, and pushed, and pulled some more. Nope, didn't budge. I grabbed the 2013 GMC rear bumper. I hope it holds if I get rear ended. Yup, it moved rather easily. Thanks to Andrew at Torklift for some excellent customer service. He probably thought I'm an ignorant dumb--s but very politely explained to me how to fish the bolt fish wire for the front mounts. That took longer than installing them. Maybe 15 minutes each side. The rears were more challenging. The driver's side- 15 minutes. Easy-peasy. Passenger's side? Ummm no. The rears have 4 mounting holes. 2 go to the holes in the bottom of the spring shackles and 2 are GMC OEM frame bolts. 1 of the shackle bolts wouldn't feed so I had to take a small trip and buy a 1 1/2" to use instead of the supplied 2". Now easy-peasy. I love the look and they are super steady. If you don't know what you are looking at you don't even see them. Thank you so much for sharing this review about our buddy Andrew, he works very hard to do a good job for our customers. We always watch these forums in order to find opportunities to help our customers but we are also looking for opportunities to honor our team when we can. Every time we see someone share a nice report about one of our team members, we buy them lunch. Thank you for helping us buy Andrew some lunch!723Views0likes0Comments
