Mine have been installed going on 4 yrs. now the ride and fit was very good and the leaf length was correct not like a lot of the others. I ordered the HD coils with my kit for the winch/bumper combo ride is good with them also as soon as the bumper was installed.


I'm still using the same kit but now at 4 1/2" of lift using ACOS adj. coil spacers and 1 1/2" Boomerang Shackles excellent flex and ride quality still. I have saw very little sag with the leafs and always carry a load in the cargo area a 150# or so with the HD rear swing out tire carrier bumper.


I have not had a single issue with it since purchase, it like all other entry level kits have cheap shocks included and I upgraded mine to Bilstein's later on.

Thanks man that's very reassuring. I didn't get the hd coils but I don't have much weight up front. Alright, thread jack over haha

Thanks everyone.

Mine were spray painted silver and peeling so I painted them with the Rustoelum Hammered Bronze and the texture and color looks great.
