    All the things!
    Wasn't meat to be a list of differences, just sell points for why I picked BAMF.

    The question asked for differences.

    I've had "amazing customer service" from Archive and am very pleased with the products from him I have on my daily. I plan on getting the rear u-bolt/bumpstop kit and maybe leaf springs from Archive later. As far as comparing to bamf I'm sure he's great to work with as well however for my needs he doesn't sell anything I would want/need minus the hangers and for me, the lack of an easy bolt-on cross tube was not for me. Not a slight on the guy but I like to compare Archive as having a specialty in suspension tuning for leaf springs.

    I have the flip kit and his bumps on the way. I installed his flip on another truck and it was pure beef so can’t wait for mine. Also can’t wait to get nice bumps in the rear, as opposed to the rocks I have now.

    Yeah, I learned from the last rally I took the truck on is that dry dirt is way harder to land on than mud. Just have the wheelers in the front now and feels better. No idea why I didn't come to that realization before the rally. It'll be funny bolted to my stock leafs making them look like it skipped leg and arm day.

    That's what I said on Instagram. Very down-to-earth, honest, working gentlemen. After buying from both, I still say buy from both. There isn't much point to a pissing match about one being better than the other. 90% of the time, the end-user's needs are going to determine which is better.

    Currently using products from both. I have the BAMF shock relocation working with the Archive HH's. No issues with locking out anything. I did my math to make sure my 12" Kings didn't over travel with my All Pro Expo springs.

    Can we stop the arguing between who makes a better product? Majority of issues will stem from improper installation and lack of knowledge.

    For a brief moment earlier I had the idea of coating my whole truck in a grey bedliner. It’s still in the back of my mind.

    That would be intereesting and durable. The durabillity factor is why we ended up coating the cabs of all the mobile lounges at Dulles with it. They were always bumping into stuff. Air compressor and a splatter or "Schutz" gun is all you need

    You will add quite a bit of weight to the vehicle if you do.

    Over the years, I've seen a few trucks entirely coated with spray-on liner - interesting look, never need to worry about scratches.
