PRG vs. Top Gun
Is the PRG Leveling Kit worth $179 as opposed to Top Gun at $89. I understand that PRG has an excellent customer service reputation, but is that worth twice the money?

Re: PRG vs. Top Gun
I personally don't know anything about the top gun. I do have the PRG kit on my truck and have not had any problems! No weird noises or anything else that others have complained about after getting some of the other kits!

Re: PRG vs. Top Gun
I just looked at them. The most obvious thing is that PRG is solid billet, not a piece of welded metal!!

Re: PRG vs. Top Gun
Now, when it comes to shocks, moving parts, and comprehensive review of a suspension setup that works for you...PRG is the man.
A billet aluminum spacer is a billet aluminum spacer, I don't see why you'd pay more for one vs another... The top gunz spacer, however, is an inferior product. It's not billet.

Re: PRG vs. Top Gun
Do your self a favor and look at the NCD kit as well. If I remember correctly, it's only about ten bucks more than the Top Gun and it's billet like the PRG.

Re: PRG vs. Top Gun
Compare the two. Ton gunz vs PRG. I would much rather have the PRG. I would consider the NCD kit and did until I came across the used PRG kit that I have.

Re: PRG vs. Top Gun
NCD - $209
PRG - $179-$229 (depending on seller) Both milled from aluminum Top Gun - $89 Laser-cut steel I am with you so far. I guess my question is "Is aluminum worth twice as much as steel?" BTW Thanks for the quick replies!!! |

 Just call Greg, he'll be your only seller. Oh, and it's $169 (unless of course you are 2wd and want to go 2.5", then it's $179).http://www.prgproducts.com/shop/prod..._leveling_kit/

I'm no expert so I can't give a definitive answer about whether it is worth twice the price, but the billet aluminum looks and feels like it will stand up to any thing you can throw at it. The welded steel doesn't give me the same level of confidence. Personally, I'd get the PRG.

Re: PRG vs. Top Gun
Yes.. WOW! What a price increase. Back in 03/07 I got the 2" NCD thru a TT group buy for $79.99 and bumpstops for $10. At that time, the normal prices were $89.99 and $15.

Re: PRG vs. Top Gun
I'm not aware of group buys, I just checked NCD's website and it said $209.99.
Thanks Kartman. Makes sense.
