they look pretty good i dont know about that working pressure being 50psi the burst psi is ok but if your running more than 50 it will prolly put alot of stress on it

well you know you get what you pay for. I went MR BOB'S due to the fact the handle abuse. Not cheap but as I was told if it blows a boot it wasn't re-torqued, or had oil on it. I know guys putting over 120 to them with no blown boots

Seems to me like it might work fine for those of us that are not dropping a bunch of money into our trucks. Thanks for the info about site.

IIRC it isn't a straight 3" 45* boot, one side is smaller than 3".....
