    Also don't believe you can fit a 14" under the bed with the axle tabs being flush with the axle.. Ill believe it when I see it I guess

    The adjustability for the shock length is interesting but to bolt that whole thing to the frame and trusting that it will hold over welding is a whole other can of worms.

    Bolt on versus weld on sliders is one thing..this is just so many lawsuits waiting to happen

    Not sure about lawsuits but it'll flex a hell of a lot more.

    Maybe a disclaimer to at least box you frame first? Wonder when the bolt on version of that will hit the market :laughing:

    @ChandlerDOOM and I had talked about being interested in Eric's kit when he had hinted that he was making one. At the time there were no details, but now that there are I really wish @Pelfreybilt would reconsider adding theirs back to their product line.

    There is BAMF's for about 1/5 the price.. I love pelfreybilt and their products but I was shocked when I saw the price of their relocation.

    I can't speak for Chandler but my plans are to run ADS 2.5" with piggy backs and I recall reading somewhere that 2" is the limit with the BAMF kits.

    It's tight but you can fit a 2.5" in there. @lockwire24 did a king 2.5". Why run a 2.5" versus just a 2"?

    Because the guy I'm buying them from already has the 2.5" with piggy backs. ;-)

    Probably not, when does it end?

    Interesting, id like to see where it goes. Good possibility I guess

    SUA, I'm guessing thats where the extra length is coming from

    Worst case scenario is the shock/tower comes undone, its not like the leafs are going to disappear and the ass will fall down lol. If i remember correctly someone nearly lost a shock on BAMFs kit... ;)

    Seriously, I never understood why it was so expensive, sure it had bump stop brackets but still not worth it




    Still nothing new with the truck lol

    Went over to @geekhouse23 place to drop off the bumper, but before he got there I was looking at his truck and remembered he got the relocation done. So I was checking it out and seeing how he welded the lower shock tabs since and noticed his top bolt for the shock was nearly out. So I let him know right away when he got home. That would have been a bad day for anyone
