I have a Pro Fab K, bought it back in 2004. Its been just fine for me. Have about 15,000 hard street miles on it. I have had it out of the car 2 times since the first install to pull the engine out the bottom. I always check it very well for cracks, haven't had one yet. I wish UMI would have had one at the time to go with the rest of my UMI suspension but they didn't. For $150 I would go for it, also make working under the car much easier.
