What do you want a price on? The ram or his bracket? The ram is had from Harbor Freight tools and cost is currently $74.99. His bracket kit is on his website for $78.00.

I personally would not buy from him again.

I might as well just tell you here in public that the new spacers you sent me weren't much better than the first ones.

I very quickly found out that the main bracket isn't thick enough to properly support the weight of the Harbor Freight ram so it puts the swing arm into a bind and would easily wear out the bender and also make it very difficult for the ram to move the swing arm accurately. I am just about done with my modification to your bracket kit which will make your kit 100x's better. The main bracket now pivots on a set of needle roller bearings and the weight of the ram and bracket are supported by a needle roller thrust bearing. Once i'm completely done i'm willing to share with anyone what i did to greatly improve upon your design. The other thing that i did not like about your kit is the fact that you must slip the upper support bracket over the ram then weld it to the main bracket which doesn't allow the ram to ever be removed without cutting the bracket back off. I've made a new bracket that now bolts to the main bracket so if needed i can easily just unbolt it and remove the ram.

If you're willing to listen to me i'm sure you could increase the price of your kit with the added features and still sell them with a much better result.
 
4x4high,

I'll gladdy take any suggestions you have for our product.

The product as is works as described and works very well. We have successfully use the product with out any problems since we came up with the design. The bracket will support the ram by itself, as the pictures suggest on our website, i don't know why it hasn't for your case.

We have sold a ton of these kits, with little to no complaints.

We strive in making our customers happy.

Thanks,
Kyle
