brute force gorilla lift

bimrancher · December 29th, 2006, 05:59 PM

I am looking into buying either a gorilla lift for the brute or a Turner lift. I know how well gorilla axles are , but turner is only a hour away from the house, and i was pretty impressed by there shop and some of there quality work. I have seen the gorilla lifts unimpressive welds and mandrel bends in the a-arms. But so far the gorilla lifts price is making it look a whole lot better to me. just wanting any info or personal experiences with either.thanks

I HAVE THE HIGHLIFTER PROTOTYPE WITH GORILLA AXLES. SO I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH THE GORILLA KIT NOR THE TURNER KIT BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN A GORILLA KIT FAIL. DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THIS REALLY HELPS YA BUT I CAN SAY FROM PAST EXPERIENCE WITH GORILLAS PRODUCTS THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND THEY MAKE QUALITY STUFF FO SHO!!

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PURCHASE, I WISH THE HIGHLIFTER LIFT WAS AVAILABLE TO YOU CUZ IT IS VERY WELL MADE!

I have seen both lifts up close and they are both top notch. I would love to have one of Turner's lifts with Gorilla axles.

The turner lift with gorillas would be great, but i dont think he would sell the kit without the axles. I have seen the highlifter lift on a guys out towards spring creek and did like it. But is there anyword if they are going to actually start mass producing them yet.

Iv made a couple of trips to turner cycles and have looked at their 8inch lift for the brute while i was there. Everything from the welds to the bends to the beefy cvshafts looks sweet. The only down side is the price, its almost a grand more than the gorilla lift but the quality is uncerpassed.

Right now there isn't enough people running their driveline to be able to tell how good they are. That extra grand over a Gorilla gets you some extra stuff, but not a $1000 worth.

Thats exactly why i am undesided on which lift, i have a hard time believing that turner axles would be a problem after i looked at them, they do look like the cages and ball bearings are pretty stout looking i mean they almost look as if they are off truck or something like it.

Are the gorilla and turners the only choices that u know of. I talked to gorilla and 6inches is all they will do. I like the looks of turners but dont want to spend that much. I talked with statelinecustoms and I would have to haul my brute around 6 hours to them. running out of choices.
