    lol dam. Driveshaft group buy! I was just thinking I needed a spare. I'm heading out to a couple shops today to see how much it'll be to repair.

    Did you keep the stock carrier bearing? or did you swap to solid?

    they're more like a small shock, that engages as the rear suspension compresses. More for people who do jumps and stuff, but works for me too. I need to space mine down to 2" of travel.


    On a side note I got my new driveshaft in! Got it re-tubed at San Leandro Driveline, ended up being $199.24 OTD. So I'm back to regular RWD!

    Now I need to remove my Relentless Xfer case skid and bend it back. ( It got bent by a rock and is hitting my exhaust now )

    So far they've been great, the air bump hasn't hit anything other than the strike pads thus far. However I do wish they had a set that came with the correct length u-bolts. Mine are from the All Pro u-bolt flip kit and I just cut them.

    Mine has held up well. I might add a plate where the bumps strike so I dont have to worry about the plate weakening and also giving a little larger strike area.

    Glad it worked out for you.

    I'm thinking of the same, seems sometimes as the leafs shift the bump hits the edge, but I'm not sure how I can add a bigger plate but still get the U-bolts off.

    are you running spacers in the rear to clear the new shocks? Are they 2.5''?

    Nope no spacers right now. The shocks are 2.0's. Although I may end up doing spacers in the future as we are planning to remount the shock higher and it may rub.
