Hi. Can someone tell me what the difference is between the F430 and the Body Solid 11-Gauge Pro Power Rack Model GPR378?

The Bodycraft website says the F430 is composed of 2"x 3", 12 gauge steel tubing, while the Body Solid GPR378 is composed of 3"x 3", 11 gauge steel tubing. The steel tubing used on the GPR378 is wider, and its walls are also thicker, making it a considerably stronger rack. (11 gauge is thicker and stronger than 12 gauge.) The F430 may work OK for those pushing 500 lbs or less, but the stronger, heavier tubing of the commercial-rated GPR378 makes it both more stable and more comfortable to use - even at lower weights , and it will be able to handle considerably heavier weights.

Not sure how the BodySolid hooks and bars fasten to the uprights, but given the diameter of the holes in the picture, it looks like larger pins you must remove and reinsert--you might want to double-check this. I have the F430, and it looks identical except for the diameter of the holes; on the F430, there are integrated spring-loaded pins that don't come out of the hook/bar pieces, so moving them up and down is very easy and yet feels very secure. If you go to the BodySolid website you'll see that the support bars also lack hooks on the outside, so you would need to add a second pair of hooks if you wanted to do lifts outside (eg, standing presses that would take the bar higher than the inside of the cage would allow).

I mounted a superwinch 8500 lb on mine. I'm pretty sure they use the same bolt pattern! I'd call curt to be safe. I have a receiver hitch on the front of my F250 and it is awesome to handle the winch due to its cradle design. Good lick

The drive ends are the same its the helms that vary. A Rack and Pinion SS141 system is whats recommended if you have power steering otherwise a SS151 NFB is what is recommended.

Mine is also the Rack Pro. It weighs 30 lbs. It doesn't come with weights but I am thinking of getting some. In the meantime, it is doing more reps. :-)

Mine says 34 ton. It has split everything I have tried with ease. Stuff that my friend won't even attempt with his 30 ton splitter. Wish I had bought this machine long ago. Just ordered the optional 4 way wedge.

I bought the Yakima RailGrab kit. The clamping arms are adjustable, so they're able to clamp onto the 2" bars of the rack. Make sure you get the 66" bars. Great rack though, and FYI if you have a soft top, mount the rear bar light tabs outward. Body Armor says they can go either way, but the top will get caught (and possibly rip) with the light tabs pointed inward. And you'll have to disassemble almost completely to get it turned back around. Enjoy!Edit: You don't need the Body Armor rack adapters if you go the RailGrab route. It'll mount directly to the 5125 rack.

The OEM rack is manufactured by Thule; they are the "rapid aero" which has been discontinued by Thule. The spec's are likely still available.

I got two half rack pieces at the same time, one having the rack mounting and the other not. I cannot remember which piece of equipment the rack mounting came with. Sorry, James.

i put these racks on a 2014 Rancher 4x4 front rack fits fine the back rack fits but it sticks out passed the end of the 4 wheeler 17 inches from the end thats just 4 1/2 inches more than standard but for the price its a good deal . hope this helps

In general they are very low profile compared to other bulky racks I was looking at. The wind drag and noise isn't too bad on my subaru, but I also have a Yakima faring for aerodynamtic purposes along with wind deflection.

Hi, In answer to your question, the F430 is the actual power rack which does not come with any stacks. The attachment F434 does come with stacks and this unit attaches to the F430 power rack.Thanks

Ask this guy: Lex, Racks for All. He contacted me through Amazon, so I don't have a direct email.

It doesn't look like you can rack mount it without modification. THE GD08B is a regular desktop chassis with a spacious and cleverly designed interior. I have not read the fine print on the specs though.

Hi Ecrutle, The main difference between the two models is the way the rack locks to the vehicle. The racks themselves still function the same way. Thank you for the inquiry and have a great day!

The perf87317 is the 2.2 version. It is a upgraded shock compared to the 2.0 version.

I would call the S.R. Smith customer service number which you can get via google and speak to someone about the differences. Also, you need to make sure that your existing base has the correct holes which need to be measured. We bought a replacement and went with the less expensive option because it has MUCH more flex and are very happy with it. We do run a risk of it cracking more easily, but no problems yet, and a really stiff board just isn't fun so we are happy we switched.

I can't say - the substituted a cheap knock off unit. I didn't get the R310 advertised. Avoid this seller.
