I doubt those will hold up to getting airborne! Would definitely need to look into some limit straps and heavy duty bumpstops.
Props for following through!! I've been pondering trying something like this for a long while, both to my lifted truck and the lowered one...
Been eyeballing the Brenthel Chase kit.... but my wallet was never fat enough. Yours looks so much more realistic budget wise and makes me shake my head nobody pulled it off sooner, haha!
Nice work, keep us updated on it all!

There is a little over 4 inches of travel. My HD hasn't lasted 226K, because I get AIRBORNE...

No thanks necessary from everybody. My HD has been THE MOST reliable truck for all these years and I wanted it too ride like the NEW f150's. I wasn't buying one, so I just said SCREW IT. Did the research and dove in head first...

Just got back from a 800 mile road trip thru Louisiana. NO failures. Rode like a dream. Now there is no need to do the Baja 1000 with the truck. Nothing can top the SHITTY roads in Louisiana...

Glad to hear that it's holding up. I really might consider this if I end up keeping what I have. Got any suggestions about getting a little more lift out of the front end to clear 33's ?
