i have heard of someone using them on the rear of a 75 series cruiser and it flexed really well, dont know about durability or strength yet though.

they're sending me a set next week for a write up.
im told they use a rose joint at the hinge which tackles twist, and are made from 8mm heat treated steel,
they sound awesome, im interested to see what others think

i was given a set to try for the weekend on the rear of my hilux, with them fitted i got an extra 5" of height on the ramp, i was very impressed with them on the trails. they can also be pinned so they dont open up on road so the handling doesnt change. they retail for around $500 a pair.
