Default Lifter Questions
Hi all,
I'm having the lifters replaced on my stage 1 2015 RGS as the oem's are making a racket w/ 35k on the clock . I'm between Jonhson Hy Lift 2313 SE and the S&S premium. It almost looks to me as they are the same part from looking at the pics Anyone know if S&S actually makes their own or out sources from Jonhson? Both made in USA. The Jonhson's are about half the price. I was going to use the SE Quickee adjustables.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance...... goldie

S&S Premiums, no brainer.

Hylift Johnson doesn't make the Twin Cam lifters for S&S.
The axle oiling of the 2313SE is hard to beat.
