    4 States offers the same kit, 2 different companies and 2 different prices. Lincoln Chrome, higher price, 1 year warranty or Best Fit, lower price, 2 year warranty. Seems like a no brainer, but maybe there’s quality or fit issues with one or the other.

    I ordered a 7-5 kit, for my ‘93 flat glass, L model, with 60” flat top. They emphasized to make sure the elbows matched correctly but they only offered, one elbow style for the kit. The kit I ordered is for the non aero, L model, which is what I got.

    Best Fit are made especially for 4 State Trucks to their specs, which are basically the same as Lincoln Chromes. 4 state will sub out the Lincoln Chrome pieces if the Best Fit are not in stock.
    If they sub the pieces they will sub both the left and right side so the kit remains the same on both sides in case of warranty issues.
    If by some chance there is a warranty issue during the 2 year warranty on Best Fit, take phots of the bad part, contact 4 State, they will have you email them a set of photos, 4 State will go to the manufactuer and will have you destroy or scrap the bad piece after you receive the replacement.

    With any KW plan on having your year, model, and VIN handy, and know if you have an aero cab or not so they can get the correct pricing, and elbows for your truck.
    For some reason every KW even some year and model truck can have different elbows, that's just the KW does things.

    The same year and model can have different elbows because it all depends on which size battery/step box was specced. 45 inch step box goes slightly under the sleeper. Where a 30 inch doesn't.
