I didn't say don't get links I said anti seize is cheaper
glad I quoted it.........
Its because he seen my truck flex in person lol
But I've been running these springs about 2-3 years and very hard. I hardly ever take pics or videos and there's alot of whooped out cinders miles on them and I couldn't be happier. I sheared my pen because I forgot to check my ubolts before I went out. Then noticed they were loose on the trail. And cranked them down. I'm sure if I didn't it would of turned into a really long day. And I'll take a sheared spring pin over a shear link mount, heim joint. Or 2 very bent links.
Did some playing in snow, turned into late cold night when burbs alternator decided it didn't want to work anymore

Few pics
I spy with my little eye.....a bent spring.....trucks got a mean lean to it. It's had it for a while but got worse. I'm pretty sure it's from the spring clamp hitting frame and actually popping out of spring. I was hopeing by getting spring clamp fix it would straighten it out.....nope... Notice how spring in background (good spring) has more curve and main leaf contours rest of spring and they are all evenly spaced and spring in foreground (bent) the main leaf is wonky and more flat and unevenly spaced with others

I know some guys despise mud but I think these ol' squares are at home in the mud. K5 looks awesome.

It's crazy how much flex you can get out of ORD leaf springs.

Anything new happen with this truck @down4thakrown? I'm thinking of going the same route you did and get ORD leafs.
Nope just been wheeling it when ever I can. Kert at diy4x made me some bad ass bumpstop/spring plates. I'll get a pic up later
Those ORD leafs are the ticket up front.. 52 inch flex that bolts in..
Turns out I already had a pic of them
Yep! I was considering coil overs until I got these springs. Sucks that now I can't upload pics from my phone. Says file is to big
Yay
