I have also heard to stay away from Integy, although I have never used any of their products. I myself am using Golden Horizon Bulkheads, chassis braces, bulkhead braces and rear shock tower. The GH bulkheads are very strong, solid (no holes in the middle where the aluminum was machined out to save weight, which I beleive makes it much stronger), and best of all, they have a lifetime waranty!

As for other makers, I have heard that FLM also has good aluminum parts.

Thanks I'm gonna check it out
 
Best bang for your buck are the ACNCM T6 6061aluminum bulkheads.
Top of the line are GA (Great Assembly) T6 7075 bulks.
 
i have gh on mine and they work great, and they take a beating from me, and still hold up good, integy is poop, if the wind blows their stuff bends/breaks
 
Yeah, I like anything that offers a lifetime warranty. If it breaks, just take it in and get a new one...no questions asked! I work 20 minutes from GH, works great for me, I just go there on my lunch breaks to buy new parts (Havnt had to exchange a broken part yet).

Snook, any links to the mentioned ACNCM or GA. I can't seem to find any online. Ebay??maybe.

I can't get on the ga website......the gh's do look pretty tough, might have to order them
 
I'm running rdlogics bulk heads and they look awesome and are freaking strong
 
as far pins go I've recommended and use Lunsford titanium pins. Very strong, super light and only about $20. Integy is BAD. Unfortunately I've learned from experience. I now run GH. Finish is fair, but strength is more important.
 
exactly! who cares if it looks good sitting broken on the work bench, its all about run time! :D
 
For bulkheads as said above GH makes an amazing product. Fastlane Machine you also can't go wrong with decent price and very tough....also a good warrenty. ANCNC is also good bulks but went out of bussiness a few years back. I just sold a set a couple months back too. Lunsford pins are really tough but a PITA to cut out when they bend.
 
That looks like a pretty sweet deal, but is there any kind of warranty on them. By the sound of it, with these bulks, there is no need for one...just wondering.
 
There would be no warranty but the only thing that can happen to them is if you break off a screw. Not much else can happen to them. They are not going to bend. The rest of the truck will break before then
 
Yeah, thats what I thought, those things look pretty solid! But how do they compare to the FLM, GH, RDlogics.
 
I would say they are a bit better than RDlogics but maybe not quite as good as GH or Fastlane but really they are tough enough it does not matter.
