    You da man. Thanks for making an awesome product. Looking forward to getting them installed. My stock hangers aren’t very happy lol. Bad picture but they’re bent a decent amount

    They’re pretty solid! Just watch that the upper leaf/ shackle bolt points out ward like in this pic. I knew this and still managed to forget on the second side and put it in wrong

    Take it for a test drive before the install so you can compare before and after ride quality

    Hard to describe the difference but I will say i had my compression adjusters set at a 5 out of 8. And the difference is clear as day from 1-8. After install i now have them at a 2. Almost like i had to turn compression up to compensate for my second set of springs aka the stock hangers. Eric put up with a bunch of my emails and a call lol but i gotta say if you’re on the fence on these they’re well worth it. And i imagine id be much happier with a properly valved shock.
    Cant speak on droop since im still oem length

    @GeoScout did you use a plasma cutter to elimate the rivets?

    Thanks Eric! Great parts and also good advice along the way. Love the way my truck's suspension turned out, its been awesome to ride in as well! Will post some pictures off-road when I get a weekend off... until then these will have to do! Amazing improvement in ride quality and control over bumps and such in the couple thousand miles ive driven since install, can't wait to get out and see what this truck can do!IMG_20180730_194059.jpg IMG_20180730_194033.jpg

    That's some legit droop in that last shot. What leaf pack is that? Any pictures at ride height?

    Thanks! It's a U539/540 HD SUA pack designed for 1" lift with 500 lbs extra weight on the truck!
    I'll post some pictures later today, I'm having new eibach coils installed in my coilovers at the moment because my old ones are sagging and my new ones literally broke the wall mounted coil spring compressor at my local do it yourself garage over the weekend:bananadead:IMG_20180804_171616.jpg IMG_20180804_171745.jpg IMG_20180804_171813.jpg found some shots I took the day I picked it up at ride height!

    One pair of hangers left this batch, and then I'll do the drawing for the Free hanger refund shortly after

    Drat. Not good enough odds to convince the wife I need these right now. Guess I’ll be ordering next month instead!
