What did I do wrong?

They say this because they want you to buy there really expensive "custom" springs....there are in the business of making money, so obviously they will tell you don't do this and buy their product. I love my 52's. Best thing I ever did. I truly didn't think it was too much trouble to get mine set up and working well...but that's just me.

Don't get me wrong, the ORD springs are real nice for someone who wants to still drive their rig on the road a lot but get all the travel they can when wheeling, but they are really expensive too. It comes down to, what do you really want out of your truck in the end? Do you want it to be a trail only rig, then 52's are a great way to go. If you want a street/trail rig, don't get into the 52 swap. It won't be worth it

Yeah I can definitely see that. I guess if I came up on a trailer id do it but for the price of all the mounts and what not, id rather put that money toward 4 linking it I think. maybe next winter ill link it.

Yeah any of the off the shelf springs are outrageously priced!

I found out the hard way yesterday, my 52" springs move more then I expected and caused my driveshaft to split my T-case down the middle. I'm currently in search of a long slip front driveshaft myself. I'm thinking about just building a square shaft or possibly ordering parts from Driveshaft super store. Either way, i'm hoping someone has some information on a vehicle that has one stock...

Hey thanks for weighing in! I too have been searching for something with a big slip section but in all reality theres nothing that comes from a factory with suspension flexible enough to require a long slip. Ive heard some of the bigger pto winches have good pline material but it sounds like a pain to find. I looked over driveshaft super store site but I think a long spline runs $250 which isnt cheap.
