Thanks for the compliment! Yes I polish all my own stuff.

The towers are Unlimited Engineering Supermaxx "Knucklehead" Towers. Made from 7075 aluminum they are stronger and lighter (and nicer looking IMO) than the FLM's or any others I've seen.

FLM added more holes to their version for additional adjustability and they are less expensive. Both make for great choices. Why squee wasn't impressed with the UE Knuckleheads disturbs me. They are the finest towers out there, or at least have been for years (with no real competition!).

Currently the FLM offers a nice alternative and there is a Ti tower available that incorporates mounting holes for a wing mount which is nice. I think both are nice and I'd consider buying them.

I tried the Ti towers with UE shocks and was not inpressed with the handling they gave me. I liek my UE towers, but make my truck sit up too high, so I went with the Nova towers, also 7075 aluminum....very nice IMO....

The way they made my truck handle...it seemed to be all over the place with those particular towers...and it mattered not where I located the shocks
