Yes, and I just went and checked mine today.

No frays, tears or abnormal wear. They've been there about 4 years.

Just to make sure though I did a one hour test, suspending my front diff off the ground. Didn't even pop a stitch. Measured my drop, still the same.
These are SDE straps, I figure if Super Duty Enterprises sells them for thier trucks they oughta be pretty good.

Hey guys,

So I have a 2001 2500 Cummins with a 2.5" leveling kit paired with Bilsteins 5100 front and back. Also has springs. The purchase was made on Ebay by previous owner ( YouTube paradoxz cummins) that's the truck.

Anyways, just going over a speed bump at 4 to 5mph the entire front end goes left right up down . It feels like I'm on a trampoline🤨

I've been looking at suspension kitsch but I really dont know what to buy. I just get frustrates.

My usage for this truck is basically a pavement princess. BUT, I will be using it soon to tow a 34ft toyhauler with a 4 seat Rzr.

Can anyone help me pick a kit for this truck? I would really really appreciate it. I can't decide of bilstein again, fox, carli or Thuren. Price I'm sticking with is BEST BANG FOR MY BUCK$

My email is larkinrobert777@yahoo.com or I can talk on here.

Do the rear leafs fit as well? If im looking for a stock 2500 4x4 ride height on a 1500 4x4, can i not just pull coils and leafs off of a 2500 and do it that way?
