Ebay $40 rear axle flip pros, cons?

OK guys, What do you think of the ebay 40 dollar flip kit? any pros or cons with this kit? I notice the other kits out there have plates, u-bolts, bump stops, brackets, and notch. The ebay looks to be a bracket around the axle and that's it. Does it do the job right? Any info would be great.

I "assume" he's referring to something similar to this

I have seen them bent to hell before. Who knows how the person was driving though. If I was going to use them I would probably weld in the sides with extra steel so that they couldn't bend and flatten out.

Personally I wouldn't use those, especially at $55. They'd have to be down to $12 to $15 before I'd think about trying to weld them in to make them last OK. As noted, all the other needed hardware needed is missing.

Thanks guys. I was wondering with all my searching, seeing guys doing the cheap eBay flip. I was wondering how good they really are. I'm just going to stay with old reliable, Belltech.
