I looked them over and compared them to the originals...they look just as good if not better. The steel thickness seems to be dead-on and construction looks identical. I haven't yet fitted them into my truck, but they look like they will work just as well as OEM, and from what I gather about Mevotech, they are not manufacturing anything overseas like most others which is enough for me to buy from them again. I'm so sick of the foreign garbage being sold only to be disappointed in the quality and yet a high price from other manufacturers.
