They look pretty sweet. Do you have a contact number for Haultech since I'm really interested in buying a set of those bushes.

Even if GU ones are slotted, they're still $80 more than the Haultech ones. :D

The bushes showed up today, oh yeah. :armsup:

will be good to see how they last.... in my thinking the bushes will be stuck/glued to its outer and inner and may split or tear with time and use.
just a thought!

i dont doubt that they will flog out quicker than normal bushes, but thats the price you pay for better flex

Agreed, lifespan will be shorter than a OEM bush. But since my truck's not a daily driver, the bushes should last long enough. If I get even 20K outta them I'll be happy.

Anyone know of someone who sell these other than Haultech? Need a set in the next few weeks, and can't get in touch with these guys directly (have tried a number of times)


Cheers,
Dave
