Default Hanson Products - Your opinion?

Hey everyone, been out here looking at folks threads for a long time. Got some great people out here with great ideas and opinions.

I just purchased a 2007 Sahara Unlimited that is stock.
Looking to do some minor work to it, nothing crazy.

One thing I saw was a guy here locally has a brand new Hanson Offroad Medium Fender Bar that retails for $869 for $400.



Does anyone have an opinion on Hanson products in general and do you think this is a good deal?

Also, what do people think about Bilstein shocks? Are they good quality?

Thanks for any info you can provide.

For that price I would scoop it up. Always liked the look of the hanson bumpers. Only read good things about them. I believe Wol is running one on nemo. Alot of guys run bilsteins with good success

Hanson makes a quality product. i have front and rear bumpers and don't have any complaints.

Bilsteins kick ass. i don't have them on my jeep but i have them and have had them on several other trucks

They are terrible man!

Just kidding, Hanson stuff is tough and looks good, they also own Purejeep and my personal experience with PJ is awesome (Sliders)

As far as the Bilstein shocks go, I have heard that they are good, but I have not used them.

Yes, I also run the Bilstein 5100's. I've had them on for around 40,000 miles w/ no issues...

Default Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and opinions on both the Hanson products and the shocks. I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger on both.
