Hey guys, has anyone run these HD leaf spring brackets as opposed to the RC drop brackets??

Haven't personally run them but looking at the two the HD version mounts to the stock location as well as the frame rail, RC only mounts to stock location so it's pretty obvious which would be stronger.

 

Yes the HD are stronger. But why do we need stronger than stock location mounting? I have the RC, they mount in the stock location and thats what I like about them, super easy install. Dont worry, they are not going anywhere. they are beef and work wonders. Do not hesitate, buy them. As far as RC or HD thats up to you.

 

Yeah the mounting difference is the first thing I noticed. The fact they are the same price and the shipping on the HD bracket is only $10.....I do believe I know which ones im going to purchase. Glad I came across these as well......im sold. But my question still remains is anyone running these on their rig??

 

HD is by far a better / stronger product. I run them and they work great and super easy to install. I dont trust anything from rough county

 

I really wanted to ask you if you noticed a diffrence in the ride quality!? If so how much? Thats what Im really going for, plus the added flex.

 

Yes, ride quality improved greatly. They put my shacle at 45degree angle so now while driving the shackle "gives" back and forth. Oh yeah and if you have RC leafs (I am assuming) they are too short now and your shackle is probably either vertical or pulled inwards as opposed to outward. These are a must for RC springs. The ride is much much better.

 

Stock location is part of the unitbody, these just mount to it so the more solid they mount the better. Dropping them adds leverage so the beefier and more solidly mounted the better.

 

Like I said, They are not going anywhere. Not as strong as HD tough, I agree

 

I mean as i read from other forums im hearing great things about both products. I guess I really cant go wrong with either one.......

 

write hd on the top half of a peace of paper and rc on the bottom grab about 12 of your favorite beers drink them put the paper on the wall close your eyes and throw a dart at the paper lol i just bought the hd ones today lol

 

Yeah I'm going to order the HD brackets Monday, the flat rate $10 shipping was the closer along with the better mounting!

 

GOOD CHOICE

 

The RC brackets are based on the Original HD brackets.. Seems to me the improved NEW version of the HD brackets should be better than their old design.
