I have installed several hundred sets of them. Good product in my opinion.

FWIW, if you look at a Percision set and a USGear set... they look indentical, because they are. Precision Gear bought USGears manufacturing equipment when USGear re-tooled a few years back.

If you have ever read any of my scribble... I use and perfer to use USGear and/or Precision sets in all of my builds. The finish machining on they is second to none.

Precision gears are top-notch IMO. I've always run them in my big 4x4's (40" tires)

The company has just changed hands in August and the import junk has started to roll in. The new orners are Alloy USA in Corona Ca. and they have sold off all of the good PG gears and replaced them with Cha, and some Motive.

P.S. I was offered a job there when it changed hands, but after seeing what was about to happen I backed out. I only use OEM, Strange or Motive Performance gears in my builds. Anything else is going to make noise or fail.

I'm all for that, but I can't support a sponsor like you if you don't answer their interests and their questions.
