RoadGRATER

Why do you guys think of the road grater system from air ride tech? Worth the money?

Re: RoadGRATER

Yes, I think it's worth the money....if you don't have the time to weld or fabricate
your own.........just my .02.....

Re: RoadGRATER

yea i think it is...i can't weld..and that is the only kit that is only 100% bolt on.....the instructions say it can be done it 4 hours....dont count on it to be done it 4 hours...and i also found out that the instructions dont seem to be that detail...but you can still get the job done

Re: RoadGRATER

ya its the only one thats 100% bolton, and 4hrs for just the kit could be true but you run thru drill bits like hell. also buy it from a dealer, youll ger a break on the price!

Re: RoadGRATER

I love the roadgrater so far. I only went through 2 1/2" drill bits installing mine, but I bought some pretty high dollar bits that kick ass. It does take WAY longer than 4 hours to install also, but its all worth it in the end.

Re: RoadGRATER

Re: RoadGRATER

sorry, i mean its the only 100% bolt-on complete kit thatll lay out on 20s. the kp and cando kits themselves will do the same but you have to weld in a notch too.
