    The BAMF kit is an awesome product, but it's a weld on. 12x2.5 will work with this setup no problem.

    I'm so very tempted... My biggest concern with the bolt on tabs would be the rapid cycling during pre-runner type stuff, and them not moving. I'm sure a couple tac-welds could mitigate that though...

    Yup, hence why its still sitting in the garage not installed yet :rofl: Glad to hear, I'll try to make a decision today. Need to install the new shocks so i can pull my old ones off and sell them to get some coin back!

    I understand you only have a couple kits left currently - I saw you are projecting to have the next batch ready by the end of the year, is this still the case? Will the pricing remain the same? I only ask as I just bought a home so funds are kind of tight right now, and I likely wouldn't have the time to install them for a while anyways.

    Pricing will be the same later in the year, yes. I've got two sets unclaimed right now in this production run.

    We haven't seen any indication of the lower tabs moving on the axle, even running hard. There's a lot of both friction and clamping force holding them in place. But a little tack weld would be extra insurance for sure.

    Noted! Glad to hear. I’ll hold off for the time being, but come the end of the year, I’ll likely be in for a set. Love the product!

    Will the oem leaf pack work with this for the time being ? I understand the oem leaf has its own limits

    Absolutely.

    Your OEM pack will be the limiting factor, but you'll be able to adjust the lower mounts when you upgrade the pack later, so you don't lose any capability when you do upgrade.

    Yup. And since the lower mounts are not welded to the axle, you can adjust the lower mounts when you install new upgraded leaf packs. Win win.

    These are Dakars with 29XL added leaf

    Tabs and plates come back from CNC cutting on FRIDAY. Then I have some burning to do, and we're still on track to ship in time for Christmas.

    With one set still unclaimed if anyone else wants to jump in last minute. These are a perfect way to ensure you get something good from TWSS this year.
