It could just be a powder coat, but those parts appear to be made out of aluminum. So they will flex--but without the weight penalty of steel. That's my guess. Looks great.

Come to think of it: I can't see why they'd need to flex. The real problem with truck arms is weight of the arms themselves. Metal Works appears to have taken care of that.

I talked to metal works for awhile last night....he was very knowledgable on the truck arm stuff! Basically he told me he was not at liberty to talk about the pics we have here because he was not ready to release any of there stuff I told him about the posts here hopefully he will post......
