Alabama thread!

I'm really interested in the dobinsons setup. Obviously huge over seas and I've used them minimally myself, mostly fox, but I've heard dobinsons knows how to make a leaf pack

 

They do. No issues out of mine at all. I squeeze two or three pumps of the grease gun into my rear greasable pins every time I change my oil. It has kept the squeeky gremlins at bay.

 

dude i was looking at the archive garage HH and he says not to use the greasable pins for his hangers. He said it will cause damage.

 

See that's great they come with a zerk to grease. Ive been back and forth on what to do and when, I'm just gonna do it all at once and this pack is in the top 3

I’ll go with the BAMF ones if I get new hangers.

 

My leaf pack the heavy duty 111 have rode awesome and the only rear weight I have are sliders and toolbox full of stuff, planned for rear bumper though.

Do you have the pins in the front and rear of your leaf springs?

Yea I saw that too, I ordered another set for the rear of my springs see if that fixes my squeak. He said could in the front and rear of the springs just trim the end of the pin, but not the bottom of the shackle. Im gonna drill and tap my shackle for a grease fitting.

 

Yep! I kept the factory shackle bolt attached to the hanger though.

 

Ive been researching both of the companies. I like Archives design a little more and ive seen tons of pics of and clips of his hangers taking hard hits with not damage. Ill def be getting his shock relocation kit his Shock relocation is designed for 2.5x12 and has been fitted with Radflo on several occasions.

The Archive shock relocation puts the top shock eye as high as possbile, a few inches higher, than other kits, this is critical to retaining bump travel, and not having only 3" bump travel.

 

I've been eyeing the archive with radflo rears as well. I just can't justify it....yet

 

You got archives ubolt flip? I like the quality of his stuff so much im sold on anything he makes.

That's my next truck upgrade is the hammer hangers they say the ride improves a ton.

 

I like my flip kit! He has been bad mouthing BAMF publicly though and not sure how I feel about that. BAMF are awesome dudes and have great products and CS.

 

Agreed bamf has great products and amazing CS.

 

I saw that episode, I wouldn't call it bad mouthing them. He was just saying his product is superior, which I agree with he did apologize and smoothed everything over. I've never bought anything from bamf but some cmc plates.

 

i saw that but he apologized publically as well. Has not been an issue since

 

yeah don’t know all the details, just clips here and there. I don’t have a need for hangers, unless this is my dedicated trail rig.

 

Still double red flags here in Gulf Shores. Bright and sunny day.

 

Im gonna do it just for the ride improvement, they say it helps a ton.

 

Well, bumper and winch are next when funds allow. Then I'm going to upgrade my front suspension and possibly rear shocks this fall.
