i also did rear axle bearings and wheel cylinders last night in the rain . it decided it wanted to spit the axle in my driveway. and i didn't have a 40 ton press. i had to use a 2 pound sledge and a pipe i know tires aren't the same size but new ones coming soon.

I was also wondering about the impact on Flex these have. I'd imagine they would prevent the rear from flexing. Emailed Zuk yesterday as I live nearbye, hope to get a set of these for my Saggy rear if there is no bad impact to flexing the rear, will go the new leaf route if that is the case.

I think if you painted your rims gunmetal grey it would look great.
Wowo that was saggy, looks much better now!

looks good 4bytruckin

Very simple mod...but does so much for the saggy Runners.
The popping noises is probably the unloaded leafs slapping the pack. Leaf clamps will fix that. ZUK
