The creator also mentions the $189 price and notes the upgrade still has value even if you own a quick hitch. Best for BX owners tired of wrestling with factory stabilizers.

Not every implement is quick hitch compatible, so you still need to remove the quick hitch sometimes, and the upgraded stabilizers make reconnecting much easier.
They are threaded rods with jam nuts that rust and seize, making them hard to adjust, and you often have to fully loosen them just to hook up an implement.
Two outer pieces, two inside pieces, a manual, and a bag of pins and clips, with nice powder coat finish and smooth, well ground welds.
The kit is priced at 189 dollars on Messick's website.
