Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethelene is used on Snowmobiles as the bear that the track runs against. Stuff is amazing...
On the other hand, I run relocation brackets...
relocation brackets or sliders?

i run shackle relocation brackets (homebrew) i like them for ride quality and articulation.
i dont like them because even at a 45* angle my 1.5" lift shackles hang pretty low and make love to rocks often.
methinks some shorter shackles and beefing up my leaf pack is in order soon

I really dig he slider boxes. My only concern is that if down the road I wanted to go up an inch or so I would have to buy new leafs. With the relocation brackets you could always add a shackle to make it a little taller.

In Indiana! Mostly its "thugs", Mullets, and Emo kids that go there after their mommy drops them off at the mall!
They have em here... Never see more than 15 cars in the parking lots though.
And they took all the fishing gear out of the one closest to my house.:twak:
I am running the relocation brackets and i love them. Nothing better than adjustable and more options for main leafs and shackles.

Looks to me nlike the slider boxes won't allow any twisting of the end of the spring at the mount. I would think this would be a limiting factor for articulation.
That's what the bushing is for. How does a shackle allow twisting?

More bushings to flex?
Do the sliders net any lift or loss in ride height vs. stock?

shorter shackles == less travel
The sliders would give the most travel I would think. They're an interesting design. Seem like they would require more attention and maintenance than shackles though.

What he said. 2 bushings allow much more flex.

I sent a PM to tim on pirate, he tells me that he gets at least 12" of travel out of the sliders, and they are undergoing a re-design to incorporate a rear gusset.
and according to his pirate thread about them they give you 1" of lift over stock.
anyone running the relocation brackets want to chime in with their travel numbers?
