    Correct and Trailbound has the other kind, the ones that don't require the bolt head lengtheners.

    Not sure why they recommended longer pins or even the longer ubolts, the OME ones would have been just fine. No big deal though because its like it was a bunch of extra money for the extra pins and you needed the ubolts anyways. Though you will probably have to trim both down, so that part sucks.

    These are the ones that I purchased. My understanding is that you clamp the leafs together, remove the existing bolt and bolt these on the bottom of the leaf pack.

    Yep those are different from the slide in kind we were initially discussing.
    I didn't really pay attention to the dimensions you posted, those are really thick and possibly thick enough to need what you bought. If thats the case I stand corrected.

    The slide in ones are not as thick.

    Mine look the same size. No longer center pins.

    I guess I'll find out.

    Thanks. The bolts that came with the shims are 4.35"oal and Dakar bolts are 4.80"oal. I just measured the thickness of the shim where the bolt hole is and it's only .350" so I won't need the other bolts after all.

    Figured that would be the case. Good to always have an extra set though

    So I put 885's Nitrochargers and LR UCA's on a few months ago. I got pretty close to 3" of lift on my 2012 Access Cab. Do I need new bump stops? Like longer ones? Don't know why I just thought of this now...

    Haha, not at all! Believe me, the first thing I wanted to do when I ordered my kit was to brag about what a great price I got from Headstrong. Those guys really get it out the door at a good price point.
