Has anyone had these or had any luck or troubles with them?
 
Yeah, I had them on the warrior, **** burgard. Worst experience I ever had with aftermarket parts. Bought them from the local shop, brand new, direct from burgard. The suspension geometry was all ****** up, when the suspension was at full droop the tie rod ends were forced past their limit of travel and a brand new set would be dangerously loose and worn out within 1 ride. I took it down to the shop that sold them to me (this shop works with burgard a lot as they are a local company) and the shop agreed that it wasn't an issue of installation, incompatible hardware, or a bent frame. They talked to burgard for me, and burgard said they would have to see it. I loaded up and drove 45 minutes to their shop to look at it and all they could tell me is that the a-arms matched the other ones they have in stock, so there's nothing wrong with them, my frame must be modified or messed up. Like hell, the frame was replaced with a brand new oem one within the last year. But burgard couldn't pull their heads out of their ***** long enough to figure out what the problem was and wouldn't give me my refund because they said it wasn't their fault, so **** those guys. Because they use bigger ball joints that require the spindles to be reamed out, i needed to get another set of spindles just so I could put the stock a-arms back on and sold the a-arms and spindles as-is for about $100, not much more than what it cost to replace the damn spindles. Shortly after that I sold off the warrior, i was thoroughly disgusted with spending hundreds on aftermarket parts and getting nothing but troubles out of them.

**** Burgard.
 
never heard of them.....Googleing them now.....$450 :p? Why not just get some from a good company?
 
I ordered a set from burgard straight from the company and had no luck!!!i ordered the on the 27th of december and the first 2 sets the tops didnt fit 10 weeks later when the the third set still wasnt here they never emailed or called be back... bad company stay away!!!!!!!!!! still waiting on the call tags to ship them back for a refund so i can get another brand luckely i didnt reem out my spindals yet i was thinking full flight or wicked what to u guys think i am going +3
 
Ha! At least now I know i'm not the only one that had trouble with their ****. Full Flight or Wicked is definitely a better way to go, I've heard nothing but good things about both those brands. It seems like it always pays off in the end to spend a little more up front for better stuff. Had I spent a little more money and got Wickeds instead of Burgard, and Elka or TCS instead of Works shocks, I might still have my Warrior. I just got fed up with playing games and blowing money on parts that didn't work, so I ended up selling off the Warrior and buying the Raptor so I could have something that performed good without the troubles I kept having with aftermarket parts.
