Default Good Deal?

So as the title says I want to know if this is a good deal?

A buddy of mine is selling his SLP LTs and said he would sell them to me for $350. I know a lot of people don't like them cause the ground clearance on them isn't the greatest but is there any other reasons? I have searched and can not find any thing other then the clearance issue.

Thats the reason I didn't buy them. I'd say no deal. Might as well spend the extra and get stainles tsp or pacesetters for around the same price as the slps

Install is a giant PITA and the clearance sucks. TSP headers aren't much more expensive, save your money and get a better header. If you want a good header at that price get BBKs

I agree with everyone else. Pass on this deal and buy a set up new LT's for a little more $$
