It seems that plastic (exaggeration) is stronger than whatever junk Dodge uses OEM in the front.

My thoughts, and I know very little about this, are that this kit uses the best parts from the RAM and the rest is solid. Seems it would have to be better than the OEM junk.

Who said 2 cents wasn't free...

Well, I hope you get the chance to show me the extreme abuse when you install the kit. However, the lack of choices doesn't constitute a compromise in safety, in my opinion. I don't doubt that JMR will fix any issues, or back up the warrenty. What concerns me is the structural stability of the kit. The off-roading videos are great for some testing. But I would also like some in car videos on the highway, or some REAL stress tests. And again, (devil's advocate, not trying to cause a problem), but your confidence does not give me confidence. I truly believe this is a good kit. However, some hard core proof of integrity would help people like me pull the trigger on a kit like this.

Maybe being a new father makes me think a lot differently about things like this.

Welcome to the world of parental thinking. You're gonna see alot of changes in thoughts and idealologies. 'visualificationmanship?' Woof! that's some word. Had to say it 3 times before I could pronounce it right. lol

Keep in mind that the warranty offered by most manufacturers only includes damage to, or failure of their own product. It normally doesn't cover any damages caused to anything else or the costs of fixing any of those damages. This, in my opinion, is a pretty thin security blanket when it comes to using an untested product.
