leaf spring sliders

I've looked into it, as they allow for pretty good articulation and stability compares to shackles, but from what I understand they are not very good for a longevity stand point cause you got bearings to worry about. Also dirt rocks and crap get up in the track which can bind up suspension

I didn't say it was race only but that is where they say the derive the best aspects of it. It transmits more vibration into the frame than a shackle set up does. Which results in higher cab noise. The slider set up is used mostly where they don't worry about vibration and noise. (18 wheelers, dump trucks, heavy trailers, race cars)
