Black Limb Risers for the JK
I was looking into limb risers because I like the functionality and the look... My buddy has had the river raiders for over a year and the galvanized cable is almost rusting now which made me look for other sources...
Is anyone running these? The look pretty solid & clean looking comparing the $40 price difference... Considering ordering a set this weekend...

The company that makes them is local to me and I know the guy who designed them (full disclosure ). He's actually been wheeling with me and I can say that I wish I had these on my rig that day as we went through a lot of brush. His Jeep is clean. Mine looks like wolverine clawed his way across my hood. I am actually installing a set this weekend.
Funny how items like limb risers are sometimes laughed at by wheelers but they actually do provide a lot of good protection and not just with paint.
Northridge had these on their Facebook page about a week or two ago asking if people would be interested and it got a lot of positive feedback so maybe they will be carrying them soon.
But compred to River raider, I know they only use uncoated 1/8" cable where these are heavier with the coating. I can't say for sure if they will hold up against rust but the coating should at least slow it down if not prevent it.

35 Minutes install at most. No rivets, uses counter sunk stainless hardware. All can be easily removed if desired. Betweem the joining face of the powder coated brackets and the oem paint is a thin rubber gasket to prevent metal/metal contact.
