What is the difference between Standard S&S lifters and Premium S&S lifters?
As told to us from S&S, the Premiums are all hand selected and checked/verified, the std.(which are tougher than most suspect) are not.
We carry both in stock, as well as S&S Evo lifters, 24/7.

The S&S standard lifters, as I found out today, are made in Mexico. Asked them directly and you can see their response in the chat box in the lower right hand corner. The Premiums are US made. It's up to you to decide if that's worth paying twice as much. I don't mind paying more for American made if the materials and craftsmanship are better. Although twice as much is a steep increase. It's up to you if the $$ amount is worth it.
