I ordered another AVS (made in the USA). This one had a more aggressive design. My hope is that it would help prevent cracks on my new windshield (see design). I am on my 3rd windshield and will go poor replacing it every 30-40K miles! Will keep you updated. I bought this from Amazon for $86 vs $101 at Realtruck (part number 436051).

I assume it doesn’t do much for rock chips but I am getting desperate. I read it helps with the bugs. Maybe if I drive 100mph I can generate enough force to affect the trajectory of the rocks.

I thought the Steelcraft was the biggest bang for the buck: one piece 6 gauge steel for $759. The welds aren’t that pretty but it looks great from 5 ft.
