Default Leaf springs: sliders vs relocation brackets

I'm sure everyone knows what the relocation brackets are. And for the sliders, those "plastic squares" are UHMW and very durable, and I've heard of people saying that they get loud after a while...but he sells replacement squares for like $2... So don't really see a downside to them. What do you think?

the slider "guides" can also bend which hinders the movement of the UHMW. for simplicity purposes, i would run the relocation brackets from hd offroad.

I have not heard any feedback on these. If you really want to run them, do it and let us know how it works out! My only issue with them just looking at them is what "problem" are these solving? The unpredictable pivoting that the web page speaks of has not been an issue at all for me on 2" lift shackles. I have not heard anyone complaining about such a thing, either. You should get more range out of a stock length shackle with that set up, but I would personally feel safer with a standard set up with a relocation bracket.
