these suck bad....i just flipped over when i hit the throttle from dead stop and there all bent all the to the gas tank i can't believe it these are soft so i do not recommend these also the body mount is all bent...gosh can you imagine if i flipped going fast no more integy for me
 
oh that sucks dude. isnt there some kind of warrenty(sp??) on those? maybe those were just a bad set because I've heard a lot of good stuff about integy.

man this thing i so badly twisted just from flipping the truck was barely moving its really not salvageable but i just bent it back for now its really soft material..i dont know about all this aluminum parts at least the plastic parts will flex
 
that sounds kinda fishy man. I can't imagine how alluminum could get bent like that. 20mph is one thing but I dunno bout your situation. gotta pic? I'm quite curious
 
It shouldn't bend if they are made of 7075 aluminum, don't know wich aluminum integy use.
 
Integy al is soft. I had bad experiances with their maxx stuff. I turned my shock tower into a pretzel along with bulks. Everything I've bought from them is sub-par quality. Looks good, fits together well, but can't handle a beating. The only thing I have of theirs that's still ok is my aluminum diff cases. Yesterday, on a not to bad wreck, the ears on the rear bulks that hold the shock tower snapped right off! I can't hardly believe it. It was a stock shock tower with integy's al bulks. I would have at least expected the shock tower to break.
 
Just by looking at Integy stuff it seems like there designed more with weight savings in mind than durability. I mean look at that huge hole in the bulkheads, they didn't just mill it a little bit, they just cut the whole damn thing out. the only thing integy on my Maxx project so far are the MSR5 shocks. I have a little more faith in these than there other parts.
 
these shock towers are so thin and now that I'm really bashing it i dont recomend to anyone!!!! they keep bending like lead really suck
