Don't think you can get just the boots...... could try energy suspension, or other manufacturers that do poly bushings and such for assorted vehicles..... might get lucky.

Thanks for the PDF on lifts across Canada. Only skimmed it so far, haven't gotten into the meat but from my brief look... could be safe in NB )

Only issue is if I end up in Ontario, in Ottawa. Truck might have to get parked...

You should be safe in NB out here I am starting to run into issues, anything lifted more than 10cm must go through a VI which is fine. I just need to install fender flares and a new windshield and possibily and new front bumper that hangs lower to the ground.

Edit; Sorry I have not sent you an email yet, I am busy getting the camp ready for this year's flooding which is about two months early #$#@*!

^^^^ Yep 10cm is it then VI.

Maximum suspension height 10cm truck is then subject to a VI
Maximum head lamp height 137cm to the middle of the lens
Maximum tail lamp height 183 cm
Maximum front bumper height 750mm to the bottom of the bumper
Splash & spray devices YES

Just one year without a flood would be nice. If it goes as per usual it will last three weeks then subside, it's too early this year. I just hope its not as bad as last years.

no good! tried there and a couple of other urethane boot guys. this 99 1ton system just seems to slip through the cracks when it comes to aftermarket support. a general boot is available but, the puck style isnt !
by the way, what was this thread about?

the dodgeoffroad version will be available in about 1-2 weeks.
here's the story.
price will be about $600 or less.

also a lot of discussion about the different options, the 2 sizes of taper, etc.
