I got a 2.81 upper pulley and a 100mm idler pulley...just seen all this carnage of having stock idlers..would i need to upgrade maybe to the 4 piece? Maybe billetflow?
Do i need Idlers

You dont need them but are great to have. I have the stock ones and havent had any problems, i also have a 2.93 w/ a snub idler.
You dont necessarily need it, but the upgrade would be worth it if you had the $300 to spend.
Last time I heard billetflow's idler was on back order, or at least the ones I ordered.

They make a great product.
i have 2.8 pulley too and waiting for my 4 black idlers Billetflow that i ordered from Lethal, can't wait to install them...
I would...the stockers break under load, but in case you keep the stock ones I have 12of them for sale if you need 1 or 12 lol
Do it. The idlers are alot cheaper than the carnage that can result.
Great idea to replace the Ford JUNK ones. For stock applications they suffice but I have heard issues even with stock power. I shreaded mine with 481rwhp hitting 3rd pretty hard. -Shane

I did it with a 2.90. 4 piece black from billet flow with snub. piece of mind.
As stated above, the stock stamped steel idlers have been known to come apart. I think replacing them with a full compliment of billet idlers is a smart move. JMO.
Plus they look so much better than the stock ones!
I have had the same ones for over 2 years. Love them! Billetflows look beautiful.
Do they still have the belt wear like they use to?
