Does anyone have any experience with the bolt in cradle kits? I see several different varieties and am leaning towards the Flaming river cradle. Has anyone installed one. I understand they can be installed without a lift.

Flaming river is ok. Did it in the garage with jack stands. Pretty easy really. Just make sure you check your clearances and talk with them about what exhaust and oil pan you have and any possible clearance issues.

do a search on the flaming river rack conversions and STAY AWAY from them. if you're going to go with a manual rack go with either TCP or Unisteer, if you want a power rack go with either TCP or Randall's rack kits. stay far far away from the flaming river units.

I meant to suggest that he search a bit... Might be some good information on this already.
