That is why OMEs have been so widely praised, they're built right. I have 175,000 miles on the same set. No bending, breaking or sagging. Just my two cent's worth.
Lehiguy, can you explain where they bent, and how your truck and your brother's truck was set up, and under what circumstances they bent. I run Alcans and am interested in how this occurred.

Thanks
