The people from the company are wrong the nylon blocks wear out very quickly.

This was from people who have used them as well. It's also actually UHMW, fwiw.

why? I've never liked the idea of 3/4 ton. go all out and 1 ton or just stick with 1/2 ton. it's better for many reasons that I made up

That was from the people using them. Unless they changed something within the last year they wear very quickly offroad.

they add an annoying amount of lift and they just didn't do much for me as far as ride quality and flex. I was very dissatisfied with the product from LII. I haven't researched sliders. but they don't look like they add much lift and as long as the bushings don't wear out fast, it looks like they're the way to go.

I'm not saying relocation brackets are bad. I'm just saying I think I'd be much happier with the sliders. do-over I would've picked the HD brackets over LII

A tester ran his through mud and sand and put 10,000 miles on them (50/50 trail street), went to change them to find he didn't need to... That's all from memorie but it was 10,000 for sure, I'm to lazy to find it
