id call camburg and ask, they should be able to help you out....

if you want to go long travel dont even waste your time installing something that is not.... youll only waste time and money...

mine are all spider cracked. and i have them mounted like yours. i believe they need more mounting points.... mine are glass works i believe.

 

I have a couple spiderwebs. When I mounted my last set I used rubber fender washers on the lower mounting points (where your supports are), and I used the metal washers on top of the bedsides. The rubber washers look just like the metal ones and allow for a little flex, might try those out.

 

Bring it to me, and it's 1/2 that. Then we can take the other 5 grand and get hookers and blow. Think it over.

 

Hookers and blow

 

Dang 10k for leaf springs? I don't charge enough. lol.

 

It won't let me like multiple times

 

Shocks are on your dime lol. The rest is still under budget. Let's party.

 

Are those seats the Forzas? How do you like them? They've caught my eye cuz they seem narrow enough to fit my child sized body and my cage.

 

I think they are.... I need to check again. lol But these are the +1" ones

 

Dmz kit pulls 18 if I recall correctly after driveline mods, mines pulling 16 with stock driveshaft. dmz does badass work but its definitely pricey. You dont need to pay 10,000 to have a spring under kit installed, I have a feeling most of us in this thread didnt. Dmz kit, fox triples, boxed frame, new cross member and I for sure didnt spend 10,000 but I kept my stock bumper...lol

 

who the fuck spends 10k on a leaf sprung rear end....?

 

Hahah I'd be fine with that but I'd be divorced when I get home so I might pass on the hookers and bugger sugar

 

Also Tim said he was working on a kit to include everything, not just the sua kit. So it would have braces, bed cage, basically everything but the shocks to make it work. But he said he was about a month out for it and he wasn't sure on the final price of it.

 

In parts alone for the DMZ, 3.hoes, bumps, and rear glass I wanna say I'm close to the $5k mark. I have no clue how much I would of charged to install all the parts plus the frame boxing, tubular x brace, bumper, and bed cage.

 

2500-3000 for bedcage, frame plating, bumper, powdercoat, install ect. Yes, large shops tend to have a larger profit margin, however their overhead is much more than your average small potatoes guy. Shop space, large insurance policy, employee wages, employee insurance, it all adds up. Even if you pay a guy 12 bucks an hour, after insurance and benefits (if you're lucky enough to get benefits) that 12 bucks is actually in the $20 to $25 range.

 

I've decided not to pay my bills or feed my son this month. You've got yourself a deal.

 

Just cause someone does there own fab out of the garage doesn't make it a hoopty. Sure it might not be weld porn or fancy, but if it works I give guys props for doing their own work over paying 10k for leafs
