    Yep still available just directly through me now. They come with standard bushings similar to the stock bushings in the truck. A few guys who have wanted poly have swapped them out for the same kind as the Dakar upgrades the eye is the same size. However with the factory shackles and these bushings I’m getting 10 inches of travel out of the back no relocate no shackle flip or anything they work well

    Yea they require more upkeep generally you will get a bit more flex out of them but it comes down to if it’s worth it for your uses. For me it wasn’t I wanted something that worked well was quiet and worked with my little to no maint I do lol. These are a few years old and still quiet

    Yea I don't do a ton of off roading looking more for capacity when towing a trailer with building materials and some height in the rear so I have rake with my 885 up front

    Yes still working well in 3+1.
    Currently still lifted 1.6” over stock in rear.4E0F9784-C8BF-4AA4-8006-508DF22C0D19.jpg7BDF0C8A-5B97-456E-9618-7A4AEB9A9560.jpg
    I’m getting closer to adding one more leaf in because when we load up for camping trips the back sags more than I want. For side shots I only have one loaded with a full yard of dirt... Rides on my bumps when I do that but feels smooth because of the Locked Off road bumps.
    When I add leaf #4 I’m going to add a spacer tube on my U bolts to prevent the over load leaf from rotating. Seems like an easy fix to me.

    That definitely the best value. Just leave the ubolts long enough to add the extra leafs and now you have tons of adjustability.

    Front, there is a bracket that is supposed to hold the emergency brake cable forward of the axle.

    Definitely think I installed mine backwards as I put it in the rear. Performance has been great and I’m getting advertised lift without any vibes so not sure if I should leave it how it is?

    Shout out to Blackout! Went with the MD 4+1 leafs (2-2.5” lift) and RCD/B110 5100s. TX Baja kit up front. Installed a week ago and loving it!

    Speed bumps at 20mph (empty bed) isn’t overly stiff, rears felt planted and controlled.

    500kg in the back dropped her a few inches but still had rake. Handles way better than before and best yet: no noises, no vibes, no angle issues! I highly recommend these.

    Mil wrap (thicker portion) up front. From the center pin, measure to the leaf ends. Longer end towards the rear. Brake line bracket (with pre-threaded holes) forward of axle.

    Good luck

    Replaced the entire rear suspension this weekend. Removed the factory leafs, shocks, bump stops and shackle hangers. Installed BAMF HD Shackle hangers, wheelers off-road ubolt flip kit with timbren bumpstops, bilstein B110 5100s, and the HD 5+1 leaf pack. Chopped the exhaust while I was at it. Crazy to see a comparison of the factory junk vs quality aftermarket parts. Night and day difference. Only issue ive noticed was I got a little bit of a vibration during acceleration from a dead stop.. Ordered shims and a carrier bearing drop kit. Other than that I am completely happy and cant wait to get off road with this set up. (Pretty sure there are loose bolts in the pic of the shackle hanger it was taken right after I got it up there and not torqued down yet)
