I hate to pile on, but I am still waiting on the hardware for my sliders...3 months now...

I gave up on any hardware coming from him. It was easier to just go buy the hardware than deal with Nate. 4 months after installing them though, I need to remove them and refinish them, they're covered in surface rust. My front bumper too. All the welds are rusting.

Take Care,

Exactly...went and bought the hardware and did it myself. Just like you, re-painted mine on Saturday cause of the rust. Also had to cut a section out of the back for some sort of triangular shaped box on the backside of the sill. Considering having Denny make me a new set or fab my own.

I think the guys in way over his head.

He's not in over his head - he has little idea as to what he's doing.

That's an appalling, potentially dangerous, and "pride-less" set of trailing arms. I cannot believe a man would make, let alone, SELL something like that! Those trailing arms are without a doubt a direct and horrific reflection of this man's work and idea of quality.

Test the welds, they won't break. Beat the crap out of them, you wont damage them. Other than that, they are under your truck, would you like strength or looks on a 190 dollar shipped set of trailing arms with no core charge?

"Whattaya' expect for the price?"

Not really the way you want justify the existence of your product.

Have some pride in your work, both appearance and quality. The threaded ends are crooked and the welds look like some kind of student project gone wrong. You're in business. You're charging people money for a product - doesn't matter if it's $190 or $1.50 - quality and attention to detail mater.
