While i do like them i am gonna keep my beef with that company customer service is their last priority, they advertosed and sold me a product that did not fit and did nothing except update their product because of what i told them, yet left me in the breeze...

If you're going to 1 ton axles why did you bother with those?

I left a comment on this earlier today and it has disappeared.

Again, if you don't tie in the shock hoops to the cage what is going to take the load of the vertical stress?

This is a unibody and will eventually give under that much stress.

Just finished and went for a test drive and found many issues. The front is way too stiff, all the flex is the rear. The rear tires rub on the shock when compressed in and then the shocks hit the frame when flexed all the way out. I need to add a limiter strap for the drive line and when I was all done I was heading home and lost all brakes. Driver side brake line has a small hole in it. I don't even know how that happened cause it's a steel braided line. :dontknow: Other then those problems air shocks is like floating on air.
