    I’ll be ordering my suspension in the next few months. Pretty sure I’ll be going with wheelers. So Josh is the guy to ask for?

    Man, I got no swag whatsoever from anyone I purchased from except LRO; they send a ton of stickers with their orders.

    Headstrong? They didn't even give me a call, PM, or email reply so they get none of my money :rofl:

    yep, have the greasable OME shackles now. That Energy Suspension Formula 5 just has gunked them up beyond recognition. Should've just stuck with typical grease. Wont make that mistake again.

    yes. Give them a call and ask for Josh or you can reach out to them via message (@Wheeler's Off-Road Inc )
    I just call though. More personable that way. (541) 474-2879

    I run those and have no complaints.

    Even now, the front main bushing is quiet...even though it was pretty noisy a few months ago.

    I have the OME greasable shackles with the OME bushings. The work good and are yellow, except when I squeeze red grease into them. Then they are orange.

    Headstrong is a really small operation...as far as I know it's still just Marie and her husband that run it and they get a ton of biz through TW alone (mostly 2nd/3rd gen stuff). I've ordered from them several times and Marie is one of the nicest people you'll talk to, but she can be hard to get ahold of if they're slammed.

    Sucks they didn't reply at all via any method of communication, that doesn't sound like them...I wonder if maybe they were on vacation or something. I know in the past when they take some time off they don't respond to business stuff but they usually make it pretty well known on their website

    To be fair I haven't ordered from them in over a year now so things may have changed, IDK

    Remember that 3500 with a bent axle housing?

    Well, the new housing came in so the current one is being gutted. Here you can clearly see where the bend is as you look through it -

    This pic, I'm trying to square up with the light coming through at the end

    If I was in SoCal, I definitely would give them some business. Especially if they offered local pickup. When I was shopping for the full kit, she did reply back to my messages which was nice. Must just be you @Kwikvette :boink:

    So my buddy told me the owner claims someone hit him and ran. No body damage or anything but coincidentally, the expensive ass wheel has a big flat spot where the owner must've run into something hard...
