    I haven't found it on your web page, but that doesn't mean you don't have 'em....I'm looking to finish out a few details on my suspension. Next on the list would be a U-bolt flip on the rear springs. Do you offer such an animal? If so how much? And what are the part #'s? I ended up using the AAL without blocks, so stock length ubolts will do the trick. I realize that when they're flipped, they can be longer without any complications....

    Anyway, let me know what's available if you would please.

    Thanks,
    Bill

    Many thanks. I saved that link and will be ordering VERY soon. I'll get with you about bump stops used with that setup.....The stockers probably won't work with them. (And this website has me wanting to spend spend spend!)

    I know some u bolt flip kit come with option 'taped' holes for installing Wheeler's super bumps for example. I wonder if Marie has this option. Makes it VERY easy to install and swap out bump stops.

    If not, it wouldn't be too difficult to drill and tap 2 new holes. That said, I'm all about "plug and play" stuff where the hard work is done before the UPS man shows up at the door!

    It's refreshing to see a business ran these days with the approach that customers are valued. Way too many places act like they're doing you a giant favor when they take your money.

    Headstrong has a customer for life. If they have it, that's where I'm buying it!

    Couldn't agree more. I bought my spindles from Headstrong some years ago and I was extremely pleased with the whole experience. I'm more than happy to continue supporting them financially and by word of mouth..

    For what it's worth, I really believe you will not regret it.

    I'm old school with most things. I'd rather walk in a store, talk to the person at the counter, put a face to the name, and pay with cash at the end of the deal. So....With todays world, that isn't quite as possible as it once was. Now I'm forced to buy things online.....and not from just down the street. It's not the worst way in the world to do things, just that it's DIFFERENT than what I'm accustom to doing. Then I'm buying parts that I've done my research on, but they're still uncharted territory. With that, there's this uneasy feeling when I type in my debit card number. Funny thing, that uneasy feeling wasn't there with Marie and her business.....You get the sense you have a friend on the other end of the line. You get a sense she knows what she's doing. And in the end, you find out that your impressions are well justified.

    THESE PEOPLE ARE ON OUR SIDE!

    The holes are not predrilled. Some people will also drill holes into the chassis and run the daystar bumps.

    Thank you so much. I know what you mean that some people seem inconvenienced to take you money. I have seen it in every aspect of life from ordering a hamburger at a drive thru to buying a new car. I hate being treated like an imposition so we try, the very best we can, to make each person feel valued.

    Bill - what did you end up going with? What did you do for bump stops? I'm thinking about doing this soon.

    I did the Headstrong U-bolt flip. Then my doctor decided he needed most of my income for a few months.....No new bump stops (yet) I've got a plan to use stockers. I get released from all restrictions tomorrow! Now I can resume working on the truck......with about $17,000 less "expendable cash".....
