Default Adjustable Pushrods

Evening fellas. Looking for input as to which brand of adjustable pushrods are better, if there is such a thing. Seems everybody and their brother make them. Crane, Andrews, S&S, SE, Feuling, etc. Anybody have experience with more than one brand, and if so, where would you spend your money. Going to replace the inner cam bearings on my 08 FXSTC, and was going to go the adjustable pushrod route so I won't have to remove the rocker box covers, and everything else associated with it. Thanks in advance fellas.

Smith Brothers quick install tapered are the best; SE quick install tapered next. The SE quick install tapered had some quality problems with the adjustor nuts but I believe that has been addressed. You would be OK with any of those you referenced; JMHO on the two I named.

Yes. There is a bit more work to install the Smith Brothers as they are designed differently for rigidity.

We use either Smith, or S&S here.
Mostly S&S.
