BudBuilt - Rear shock mount set-up

[Ranski]

What are your thoughts on this kit? After searching here and on Pirate I couldn't find anything about it.

Consider the fact that I'm welding challenged

I intended on signing up for a welding class this winter, but my schedule won't allow it right now. So I'm needing to cut down on the amount of welding I'm going to have to beg/pay someone to do when installing my lift. Which includes: Front Spring Hanger; Front Shock Towers; IFS Mounting Bracket; Rear Spring Hanger; Rear Shackle Hangers.

Haven't seen any in use, but Bud makes good stuff. You'll need to add a u bolt flip kit if you're after improved clearance, tho. Just remember that increasing the angle of the shock (from vertical) will reduce its effectiveness. Not a problem for trail-only rigs, but will degrade handling on the street.

Why are you replacing the front spring hanger?

Why are you replacing the front spring hanger?

I'm going w/ the Marlin 4" TrailFlex Springs and Marlin said their spring hanger is the preferred set-up as it moves the axle forward and is a beefier set-up than stock.
